Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated
3 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups onions, diced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can tomatoes, diced and drained
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon coriander
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon cardamom
1/4 teaspoon clove, ground
1 teaspoon salt
2 (15 ounce) cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained

1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
3/4 cup water, divided

Steps:

  • Combine lemon juice and grated ginger in a small cup and set aside.
  • Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat and add oil. Saute onion and cook until onion begins to brown (approx. 4 minutes). Add jalapeno and continue cooking until onion is brown all over (4-5 minutes). Add tomatoes, cumin, coriander, tumeric, cardamon, cloves and salt. Stir and cook one minute. Add drained chickpeas and 1/2 cup water. Cover and cook over medium heat for approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding additional water if mixture becomes dry.

Uncover cauliflower and boil off any excess liquid. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice mixture. Combine cauliflower with chickpea mixture and add in chopped cilantro.
  • Serve with a green salad and naan bread or as a side dish.

The cauliflower was a bit bland for my taste, so I roasted it with some olive oil and spices before adding it to the dish.

I found the tamarind to be a bit too sour for my taste, so I added a little bit of sugar to balance it out.

This dish was an explosion of flavors! The sourness from the tamarind and the spiciness from the chilies balanced each other perfectly. The texture of the chickpeas and cauliflower was also great, with a nice crunch from the cauliflower.
