Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, quartered
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons Madras curry powder
5 cloves garlic, chopped
2 15-ounce cans chickpeas (do not drain)
1 cup fresh cilantro, plus more for topping
Juice of 1/2 lime
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
4 cups shredded coleslaw mix
Caribbean hot pepper sauce, for serving
2 pieces naan bread, warmed and cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and add to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 8 minutes. Add the curry powder and half of the garlic. Cook, stirring, until the garlic softens slightly, about 1 minute.

  • Meanwhile, puree the remaining garlic, the cilantro, 2 tablespoons olive oil, the lime juice and vinegar in a mini food processor or blender until a paste forms. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the cilantro paste; cook until dark green, about 1 minute. Transfer to a medium bowl and add the coleslaw mix; season with salt and toss to coat.
  • Top each serving of the chicken curry with the slaw mixture, some hot pepper sauce and cilantro. Serve with the naan.

CHOLAY (CURRIED CHICKPEAS)



Cholay (Curried Chickpeas) image

This is a very flavorful recipe from North India, usually eaten with fried bread like bhatura or puri. I like to serve it over rice for a very filling meal. You can also try it as a quick snack over toasted bread. This recipe is much quicker to make if you use precooked canned beans, but I like to think that the authentic flavor comes from doing it the hard way!

Categories     Side Dish     Beans and Peas

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups water
1 tea bag
1 bay leaf
2 (15.5 ounce) cans garbanzo beans, drained
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
1 teaspoon grated garlic
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 onion, finely chopped
ground cayenne pepper to taste
1 pinch garam masala

Steps:

  • Place the 2 cups water, tea bag, and bay leaf into a pot, and bring water to a boil. Reserving about 1/2 cup garbanzo beans, stir the beans into the boiling water. When beans are heated through, discard the tea bag and bay leaf. Remove from heat. Drain the beans, reserving water, and set aside.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a skillet over medium heat, and saute the sliced onion until tender. Remove from heat, cool, and mix in the reserved garbanzo beans, 1 tomato, and 1/2 the cilantro leaves. Set aside.

Bring the tomato liquid to a boil, and cook about 5 minutes. Stir in the boiled garbanzo beans, sliced onion mixture, and enough of the reserved water to attain a thick, gravy-like consistency.

Curried Chickpeas with Mint and Cilantro Chutney image

Provided by Lisa Lin

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 cups (40g) cilantro leaves
2 cups (40g) mint leaves
3 cloves garlic
1 1/2 tablespoons minced ginger
1 serrano pepper or green chili (seeded and roughly chopped)
1/4 cup Nature's Intent Apple Cider Vinegar
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion (diced (about 1 to 1 1/4 cups))
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (divided)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 serrano pepper (thinly sliced)
1 large carrot (peeled and diced)
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
2/3 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or from a can)
2 cans of chickpeas (save the water from the can)
1/4 cup full fat coconut milk
2 tablespoons Nature's Intent Apple Cider Vinegar (optional)

Steps:

  • Add all the chutney ingredients to a food processor. Blend until all the ingredients are well mixed. Transfer the chutney to a small bowl and cover. Let it rest while you cook the chickpeas.
  • Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, the minced garlic, ginger and serrano pepper and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the carrots and cook for another 3 minutes.
  • Add the remaining teaspoon of salt, coriander, cumin and turmeric to the pot and stir to coat the vegetables with the spices. Add the diced tomatoes and chickpeas and stir. Add 1 cup of the reserved water from the can of chickpeas to the pot. If you forgot to save the water from the can, don't worry. Water straight from the tap works, too. Turn the heat up to medium-high.
  • Bring the liquids to a boil. Partially cover the chickpeas with a lid, reduce the heat to medium-low and let the chickpeas simmer for 15 minutes. Drizzle the coconut milk and Nature's Intent Apple Cider Vinegar, if using, and stir. Let the chickpeas cool off before tasting. Add more salt if necessary.
  • Serve the chickpeas with cooked basmati rice and the mint and cilantro chutney. Leftover chutney will keep in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days.

CURRIED CHICKPEAS WITH CILANTRO



Curried Chickpeas With Cilantro image

I love this recipe. It is my own creation, informed by dal and curry recipes I've made in the past. It's pretty easy, and great if you are craving Indian food. You can use canned or cooked chickpeas and adjust the spices to your preferences. The cooking time doesn't include the time required to soak and cook dry chickpeas. I don't like to use salt in dishes, but you may choose to add salt to enhance the flavor.

Categories     Curries

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil (may substitute coconut oil, or any vegetable oil)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 1/2 teaspoons brown mustard seeds
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
4 tablespoons water
4 cups chickpeas, cooked (2-15.5 oz. cans)

Steps:

  • If you are using dry chickpeas, soak and cook them, according to the package directions. (This requires overnight soaking, followed by boiling for about 1 hour.) If you are using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them.
  • In a 2 quart saucepan, saute onion, garlic, pepper, cardamom, cumin, corriander, curry powder, tumeric, and mustard seeds in oil. (If the spices start to stick and burn on the bottom of the pan, add a little water.).
  • When the onions are soft, add the cilantro. Adding water as necessary, stir constantly to cook the cilantro, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add chickpeas. Stir and cook until heated through, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Serve over brown rice.

Tips:

  • For optimal flavor: Use fresh cilantro and curry leaves. If fresh curry leaves are unavailable, substitute with 1 teaspoon of dried curry leaves.
  • Balance the flavors: Adjust the amount of chili powder and cayenne pepper to suit your desired spice level. For a milder dish, reduce the amount of chili powder and cayenne pepper. For a spicier dish, increase the amount of chili powder and cayenne pepper or add a chopped serrano pepper.
  • Enhance the texture: To add a crunchy texture, top the curry with crispy fried onions or roasted chickpeas. For a creamy texture, blend a portion of the chickpeas and add it back to the curry.
  • Serve with accompaniments: Pair the curried chickpeas with steamed rice, quinoa, or naan bread for a complete meal. You can also serve it as a side dish with grilled chicken or fish.

Conclusion:

This versatile curried chickpeas dish offers a delightful blend of flavors and textures, making it a perfect meal for any occasion. The combination of fragrant spices, creamy chickpeas, and aromatic herbs creates a satisfying and nutritious dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. Feel free to adjust the ingredients and spices to suit your personal preferences and dietary restrictions. Experiment with different types of beans or vegetables to create your own unique curried dish. The possibilities are endless, so get creative and enjoy the deliciousness of curried chickpeas!
