Dinner – this is Spicy Arabian Chicken with Couscous from What’s For Lunch Honey?, which is fast becoming one of my favourite places to look online for Indian and Middle Eastern recipes. Everything I try is consistently delicious, even when I end up substituting half the ingredients based on what I can find at the grocery store closest to my house. Nom nom nom.

So, making this recipe came mostly out of a fabulous discovery I made at the grocery store a couple months ago – a ridiculously large bag of garam masala (which has always been the major ingredient keeping me from really making any Indian recipes) for a not-so-ridiculously-large price. And, in trolling FoodGawker for ways to use it, I stumbled upon What’s For Lunch, Honey?’s recipe for Channa Masala. She is not lying about how cheap it is to make. Or about how tasty it is.
The big selling point, for me, was that this was also dead easy once I had all the ingredients together, and – I cannot stress this enough – so, so good. The hardest part of the whole thing was actually letting everything simmer long enough, because the second I added all the spices, my entire apartment smelled good enough to eat. (I’m sorry the fork is dirty in the next picture. I’m not going to lie, it’s because I couldn’t wait to try some before I photographed it.)
