For a smaller pressure cooker, these quantities can easily be halved - and a smaller heat-proof dish can be used to cook the rice. When doubling the recipe, do not exceed half the pressure cooker's capacity with the chickpeas and their cooking liquid.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium red onion, chopped
2 tablespoons chana masala (or see description, above)
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1 cup (250ml) dried chickpeas, soaked overnight or quick-soaked
1 cup (250ml) water
1 can 14.5 oz (400g) chopped tomatoes
1 teaspoon sea salt
1½ cups (375ml) brown rice
2 cups (500g) water

Steps:

  • In a 4-cup capacity heat proof container add the rice and water. If the container does not have a handle, construct an aluminum foil sling to lower and raise it out of the pressure cooker. Set aside.
  • In the pre-heated pressure cooker, on medium heat without the lid, add the oil and onion and saute' until it is just starting to caramelize (about 7 minutes).
  • Add the chana masala powder, garlic, and ginger and saute' for about 30 more seconds until the garlic begins to cook.
  • Pour in the water, chickpeas and tomato concentrate into the pressure cooker and mix well.
  • Lower the steamer basket (or trivet) into the chickpea curry and on top of that, add the uncovered heat-proof container into the pressure cooker onto the steamer basket.
  • Close the lid and set the valve to pressure cooking position.
  • Electric pressure cookers: Cook for 20 minutes at high pressure. Stove top pressure cookers: Lock the lid, and cook for 18 minutes at high pressure.
  • When time is up, open the pressure cooker with the Natural pressure release. Electric pressure cookers: Disengage the "keep warm" mode, or unplug the cooker, and open the lid when the pressure indicator/lid-lock has gone down (about 20 to 30 minutes). Stovetop pressure cookers: Move the cooker off the burner and wait for the pressure to come down on its own (about 10 minutes).
  • Carefully lift out the heat-proof container and fluff the rice and serve on individual dishes. Mix-in the salt in the curry in the base of the cooker, and spoon it out and serve with a sprinkling of raw red onion slices and an optional dollop of low-fat yogurt.

Categories     Brown Rice

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 cups cooked long-grain brown rice
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 (14 ounce) can whole canned tomatoes
2 cups diced onions
2 teaspoons mustard seeds
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon ginger
3 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon salt
10 cups fresh spinach, chopped
2 (15 ounce) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. While the oil is heating, pour the tomatoes and juice into a bowl. Squeeze the juice out of the tomatoes and tear into small pieces with your hands. Save 1/2 cup of the juice for later.
  • When the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds and let them heat until they start to pop, shaking the pan to keep them coated in the oil. You'll want to put a lid on the pan to keep them from jumping out.
  • After they've been popping for about a minute, add the onion and sauté for about 8 minutes, stirring frequently. The onion will start to brown as it begins to caramelize. Add the garlic and sauté for another minute. Add the spices, salt, and 1/2 cup of the tomato juices and stir until well combined.
  • Turn the heat down to medium and add the chopped spinach, one handful at a time, stirring until the leaves wilt and the spinach is mixed in well with the spices. Continue adding handfuls and mixing, until all 10 cups of spinach are used. Add the chickpeas and tomatoes, cover, and simmer on medium heat for about 3 minutes. Stir and turn the heat down a bit to medium-low. Simmer for about 7 more minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust the spices if needed and serve warm over brown rice.

CHICKPEA CURRY (VEGAN -PRESSURE COOKER)



Chickpea Curry (Vegan -Pressure Cooker) image

A few minor changes to suit taste, based on a recipe by Suzanne Gibbs in her book "the Pressure Cooker". A super easy vegan cury that's great served with pappadums and rice or naan breads (if you can have wheat). Gluten-free and vegan. A mild recipe....add extra spices in if you like a warmer curry. Kids and meat-lovers will enjoy this one. The original recipe calls for 2 potatoes. This recipe uses cooked chickpeas as the addition of salt and acidic tomatoes inhibits the cooking of beans

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 teaspoons olive oil
4 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 large onion, finely sliced
4 teaspoons crushed garlic (extra if you want more garlic flavour)
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons garam masala (extra for a spicier dish)
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
3 cups cooked chickpeas (roughly 29.5 ounces in total) or 2 (420 g) cans chickpeas, rinsed well and drained (roughly 29.5 ounces in total)
2 (400 g) cans diced tomatoes (roughly 28 ounces in total)
3 large potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
1/4 teaspoon salt (add more to taste if desired)
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup water
fresh cilantro stem, as garnish (cilantro also known as coriander)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in the pressure cooker over high heat. Cook the cumin seeds for approx 30 seconds or until they start to crackle.
  • Add the sliced onion and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. The onion should be golden and soft.
  • Reduce the heat and stir in the garlic and other spices.
  • Add all remaining ingredients (except garnish).
  • Close and lock the lid. Bring to high pressure over high heat. Reduce heat to stabilise the pressure and cook for 15 minutes.
  • Release pressure and serve with a sprig of coriander or a sprinkle of parsley. Serve with steamed basmati rice, naan or pappadums.
  • NOTE: to cook dried beans. Overnight soak, drain water, place into pressure cooker, cover with fresh water and cook on low pressure for 10 minutes. I soaked 2 cups dried chickpeas and result was a little over 4 cups cooked beans. Canned/tinned chickpeas can be used if desired- be sure to drain and wash them well.

  • If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can make this curry in a slow cooker or on the stovetop. Just adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • This curry is also delicious served over quinoa or your favorite whole grain.
  • To make this curry vegan, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and omit the yogurt.
  • If you like your curry spicy, add a teaspoon or two of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
