Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 to 3 garlic cloves, minced
Two 15- to 16-ounce cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 to 2 teaspoons garam masala or good-quality curry powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
2 teaspoons grated fresh or jarred ginger
2 large tomatoes, diced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro, or to taste
Salt to taste
Hot cooked grain (rice, quinoa, or couscous), optional

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the oil in a wide skillet. Add the onion and sauté until translucent. Add the garlic and continue to sauté until the onion is golden.
  • 2. Add the chickpeas, garam masala, turmeric, ginger, tomatoes, lemon juice, and about 1/4 cup water. Bring to a simmer, then cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. This should be moist and stewlike, but not soupy; add a little more water, if needed.
  • 3. Stir in the cilantro and season with salt. Serve on its own in shallow bowls or over a hot cooked grain, if desired.

The chana masala was a bit too oily for my taste. I'll try making it again with less oil next time.
