Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

For Bain Marie Brown Rice:
1 cup Brown Rice or Wild Rice
2¼ cups water
For Chickpea Curry:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 red onion, chopped
2 tablespoons chana masala (or see description, above)
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
2 cups water
1 cup chickpeas, soaked overnight or quick-soaked
2 tablespoons tomato concentrate (or large handful of of whole cherry tomatoes)
1 teaspoon salt
Equipment: 6L or larger pressure cooker, steamer basket, 6C capacity heat proof dish

Steps:

  • 1) In a 4-cup capacity heat proof container add the rice, and water. If the container does not have a handle, construct an aluminum foil sling to lower and raise it out of the pressure cooker. Set aside. 2) In the pre-heated pressure cooker, on medium heat without the lid, add the oil and onion and saute' until it is just starting to caramelize (about 7 minutes). Next add the chana masala powder garlic and ginger and saute' for about 30 more seconds until the garlic begins to cook. 3) Next, pour in the water, chickpeas and tomato concentrate into the pressure cooker. 4) Lower the steamer basket (or trivet) into the pressure cooker into the chickpea curry. Now, lower the uncovered heat-proof container into the pressure cooker onto the steamer basket. 5) Close and lock the lid of the pressure cooker. Turn the heat up to high and when the cooker reaches pressure, lower to the heat to the minimum required by the cooker to maintain pressure. Cook for 18-20 minutes at high pressure. 6) When time is up, open the pressure cooker with the Natural Release method - move the cooker off the burner and wait for the pressure to come down on its own (about 10 minutes). For electric pressure cookers, disengage the keep warm mode or unplug the cooker and begin counting 10 minutes of natural open time. Then, release the rest of the pressure using the valve. 7) Carefully lift out the heat-proof container and fluff the rice and serve on individual dishes. Mix-in the salt with the curry in the base of the cooker, and spoon it out and serve with an optional dollop of low-fat yogurt.

This recipe was a disaster. The chickpeas were hard and the curry sauce was watery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
