Chickpeas Indian Style
Chickpeas Indian Style is an impressive dinner. Made with 2 cans chickpeas, 2 peeled medium onions, cut in quarters, 1 1/4 inch long piece fresh ginger, peeled, 1 green chili or 2 dried small red chilies and 3 or 4 cloves garlic, this recipe delivers authentic, satisfying flavors. An easy weeknight meal that comes together quickly.
Open cans of chickpeas and drain, reserving liquid.
In blender or food processor place onions, ginger, chilies and garlic.
Blend this all together into a purΓ©e.
In heavy saucepan, heat 2 to 3 tablespoons oil briefly.
Add cumin, nigella and mustard seed.
The seed should pop and crackle.
(Do not let burn.)
Pour in blender contents.
Fry, stirring, until color turns golden.
Add coriander, tomatoes, salt, lemon juice and red pepper (if desired).
Mix well and gently mix drained chickpeas into the spice-onion mixture. Then add liquid from cans.
Cover and let simmer about 40 minutes. Tastes better the next day.
A good dish for vegetarians, too.
