CHICKPEA CURRY (INDIAN STYLE) OVER BASMATI RICE

Chickpea Curry (Indian Style) over Basmati Rice image

This recipe was inspired by a dish I received in my "Meatless Monday" weekly emails. I changed it around ALOT by adding a few more interesting spices and served it over basmati rice simmered with turmeric. I often make Indian curries using chickpeas, but this recipe added a couple tsp of peanut butter, which I thought sounded really interesting. Please adjust the heat according to your tastes. One small red chili can be substituted for the red chili powder (please note the red chili powder is like cayenne pepper, not the spice blend for making Mexican chilli!)

4 garlic cloves, minced

Place about 1/3 of the chickpea mixture into a blender and blend for about 20 seconds (here as well, please feel free to add a little water if mixture is too thick to blend).

Tips:

Use fresh chickpeas: Dried chickpeas require soaking overnight before cooking, while canned chickpeas are a convenient option if you're short on time.
Roast the spices: Roasting the spices in a little oil brings out their flavor and aroma. Be sure to let them cool before grinding them into a powder.
Use a good quality curry powder: A good curry powder will make all the difference in the flavor of your curry. Look for a brand that uses a variety of spices, including cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili powder.
Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the curry, be sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chickpeas from cooking evenly.
Simmer the curry for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
Serve with basmati rice: Basmati rice is a traditional accompaniment to chickpea curry. It's light and fluffy, and it pairs perfectly with the rich flavors of the curry.

Conclusion:

This chickpea curry with basmati rice is a delicious and satisfying meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this chickpea curry a try. You won't be disappointed!
