Number of Servings:
3
1 can (15oz) chickpeas
3 TBS oil
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 large tomato
1 tsp ginger paste (or 1 TBS chopped ginger)
1 tsp chopped green chilies
2 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp tumeric
1/2 tsp red chili powder
1 tsp salt (or less)
1/4 tsp garam masala
1 tsp chopped cilantro
Instructions:
• Drain & wash chickpeas.
• Chop tomato, & puree with green chilies and ginger
• Heat oil in saucepan. Check if hot enough by adding 1 cumin seed; should crack right away.
• Add cumin seeds. (Original calls for adding garam flour after crack & stir-frying for 1 minute; I've done without)
• Add tomato puree and all other spices except garam masala, cook for about 4 minutes. Should "leave oil" and reduce in size by about 1/2.
• Add chickpeas and water (enough to cover), cover, simmer/boil for 7-8 minutes.
• Smush some of the chickpeas in the pot, add garam masala & cilantro, let cook about 1 minute.
• Garnish with cilantro and tomato slices if desired.
