Curried Chick Peas
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion
- 2 tsp garlic
- 2 tsp ginger
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 chili pepper, ground
- salt to taste
- 2 medium tomatoes
- 2 cups garbanzo beans
Directions:
In a large frying pan, heat up the oil. Fry the onions until they are transluscent, about five minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and fry for two more minutes.
Add all of the spices, the tomatoes, and a half-cup of water. Simmer for ten minutes. Add the garbanzo beans. Serve with rice
Tips:
I recommend using whole seeds and grinding them in a grain mill or coffee grinder. I use a coffee maker just for curry spices.
