This recipe is missing some key ingredients. It needs ginger, garlic, and cumin.

This recipe was a disaster. The chickpeas were undercooked and the spinach was overcooked. I won't be making this again.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think I'll add some more garam masala next time.

This was my first time making chana saag and it was a bit too spicy for my taste. I'll definitely reduce the amount of chili powder next time.

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the chana saag and they didn't even realize they were eating spinach.

I'm not a huge fan of spinach, but this recipe changed my mind. The spinach was cooked perfectly and it wasn't overpowering at all.
