A nice spicy Indian chickpea recipe. I know, I know. The beans come from a can. Yeah, yeah. But I was so hungry, and I was in a hurry! Remember this little dish the next time you're short on time, too! To serve as a vegetarian main dish, increase the quantity. Reheats well, too.

- Saute onions, stirring frequently, and adding drops of water to prevent sticking, until they are translucent.
- Add the tomatoes, coriander, turmeric, salt, and cayenne.
- Check for seasoning, adding more as you prefer.
- Bring to a boil.
- Add garbanzo beans (chickpeas), cover, and reduce heat.
- Simmer on low for 10-15 minutes.
- Stir in garam masala and lemon juice just before serving.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro if you desire.
- Serve with rice, or Indian breads or pitas (breads are best warmed on a hot griddle).
