Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground dried red chilies
2 serrano chile peppers, seeded and chopped
2 large onions, chopped
2 (15 ounce) cans garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained
3 tablespoons lemon juice
⅔ cup water
salt to taste
3 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
2 large tomatoes, chopped
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the cumin and ground red chilies, and cook for a few seconds until the spices are fragrant. Add the serrano chiles, onions, garbanzo beans, lemon juice, and water; season to taste with salt.
