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.
- Stir the chickpeas and their liquid into the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low; cover and cook until the chicken is tender, about 12 minutes.
- 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)
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!

Number Of Ingredients 22
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
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.

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.
