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.

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.

I made a double batch of this recipe and froze half of it. It reheated well and it was just as good the second time around.

I served the dish with rice, but it would also be good served with quinoa or couscous.

I added a few extra vegetables to the dish, such as carrots and bell peppers. It made the dish even more colorful and flavorful.

I used canned chickpeas instead of dried chickpeas. The dish still turned out great, but I think it would have been even better with dried chickpeas.

I accidentally added too much salt to the dish. It was still edible, but it was a bit too salty for my taste.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The dish was still delicious, but I think it would have been even better with the cilantro.
