Curried Chickpeas With Cilantro image

I love this recipe. It is my own creation, informed by dal and curry recipes I've made in the past. It's pretty easy, and great if you are craving Indian food. You can use canned or cooked chickpeas and adjust the spices to your preferences. The cooking time doesn't include the time required to soak and cook dry chickpeas. I don't like to use salt in dishes, but you may choose to add salt to enhance the flavor.

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil (may substitute coconut oil, or any vegetable oil)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 1/2 teaspoons brown mustard seeds
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
4 tablespoons water
4 cups chickpeas, cooked (2-15.5 oz. cans)

Steps:

  • If you are using dry chickpeas, soak and cook them, according to the package directions. (This requires overnight soaking, followed by boiling for about 1 hour.) If you are using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them.
  • In a 2 quart saucepan, saute onion, garlic, pepper, cardamom, cumin, corriander, curry powder, tumeric, and mustard seeds in oil. (If the spices start to stick and burn on the bottom of the pan, add a little water.).
  • When the onions are soft, add the cilantro. Adding water as necessary, stir constantly to cook the cilantro, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add chickpeas. Stir and cook until heated through, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Serve over brown rice.

This curry is delicious, but it's a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use less chili powder.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my curry turned out too watery. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This curry is a little too bland for me. I would add more spices next time.

This curry is a great way to use up leftover chickpeas. I always have a can of chickpeas in my pantry, so it's easy to make this dish on a weeknight.

This curry is a bit spicy for me, but it's still really good. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.
