Time 13h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

Two 15-ounce cans garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
4 strips bacon
Salt
1 sprig fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • Spread out the garbanzos on a baking sheet and let them dry, uncovered, in the refrigerator overnight. (If you forget to let them dry overnight, it's okay; you'll just need to cook them longer.)
  • Place the bacon in a large skillet over medium-low heat and cook until browned and crispy, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate; reserve the fat in the pan. Eat the bacon as snack while you cook.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Add the dried garbanzos to the pan with the rendered bacon fat. Season with a generous pinch of salt and add the rosemary. Cook over medium-low heat for about 2 minutes, then remove the rosemary sprig. Transfer the garbanzos to a baking sheet and bake until crispy, 35 to 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. (If you did not dry the garbanzos overnight, bake them for 45 to 50 minutes.)
  • Let cool to room temp before serving.

Tips:

  • Use dried garbanzo beans: Soaking and cooking dried beans is more economical and gives you better control over the texture of the beans. If you're short on time, you can also use canned beans, but be sure to rinse them well before using.
  • Don't skip the sautéing step: Sautéing the onions, ginger, and garlic in oil helps to bring out their flavor and create a flavorful base for the gravy.
  • Use a good quality garam masala: Garam masala is a blend of spices that is essential for giving the gravy its characteristic flavor. Look for a garam masala that is made with fresh, high-quality spices.
  • Adjust the consistency of the gravy: If you want a thicker gravy, you can add more cornstarch or flour. If you want a thinner gravy, you can add more water or broth.
  • Serve with your favorite Indian bread or rice: Garbanzo bean gravy is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of Indian breads or rice. Some popular options include naan, roti, paratha, and basmati rice.

Conclusion:

Garbanzo bean gravy is a flavorful and nutritious dish that is easy to make at home. It is a great way to use up leftover garbanzo beans, and it can also be made with canned beans if you're short on time. This gravy is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of Indian breads or rice.
