CHICKPEA, POTATO, AND CABBAGE CURRY



Chickpea, Potato, and Cabbage Curry image

This is one of our favorite Madhur Jaffrey recipes from her wonderful book "From Curries to Kebabs: Recipes From the Indian Spice Trail". We like this with steamed basmati and parathas. My honey likes leftovers cold in his lunch. I use young green cabbage for this, and sometimes if I'm distracted I will use rinsed, canned chickpeas. I have used habanero and scotch bonnet peppers, and also red pepper flakes, it all depends on your personal taste, and what's available at the grocery. The preparation times do not include the chickpea soak/cook time.

  • Put the onion, garlic, peppers and 1/4 cup of water in a blender and process until smooth. You can always add more pepper in the end, but you can't take it away.
  • Heat the oil over a medium high heat. Put in the onion paste and stir fry for 2-3 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to medium low, then cover and continue cooking the paste. for another 2-3 minutes. Stir it frequently just to prevent sticking, and keep it covered between stirs.

  • Bring to a boil then reduce heat and cover. Cook gently, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are done to your tastes, 20 - 25 minutes.

ALOO CHOLAY (CHICKPEA-POTATO CURRY)



Aloo Cholay (Chickpea-Potato Curry) image

From the cookbook, "Hands Off Cooking" by Ann Martin Rolke. "This is my take on a classic Indian mild chickpea-potato curry. I usually serve it with basmati rice and naan, tortillas, or pitas. When Indican cooks call for "chili powder," they usually mean cayenne, which I use here. If you like your food a little less spicy, use a Southwestern chili powder to add some flavor but not much spice. This is great with a dollop of Raita." Posted for ZWT8.

SWEET POTATO AND CHICKPEA CURRY



Sweet Potato and Chickpea Curry image

This is a warming rather than hot curry. You can taste the spices and enjoy their aromatic fullness. The ginger, chile and pepper flakes provide heat, while the coriander and cumin add a pleasurable earthiness. Meanwhile, the sweetness of the coconut milk, heightened by the soothing starchiness of the sweet potatoes, has as a counterpoint the fierce tang of tamarind. As a side dish, this recipe would be fine without the chickpeas, but as a meal, along with rice and maybe some steamed broccolini, they add heft and, if you're interested, protein.
