Curried Chickpeas are another favorite side dish from our friend from India. They are loaded with Indian flavors. With rice it's a very filling dish!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup dry chickpeas (see recipe notes for using canned chickpeas)
  • 1/2 cube butter
  • 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
  • 1/2 onion diced
  • 8 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 1/4 Jalapeño finely chopped
  • 3 tomatoes (medium to large size)
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Indian spice blend or to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Soak the chickpeas overnight, then drain excess water.
  2. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sauté the cumin seeds, onion, garlic, and jalapeño in the butter. Cook until onions are caramelized.
  4. Blend the 3 tomatoes in a blender. Add tomato purée to the onions and garlic sauté.
  5. Add chickpeas with 2 cups of water, salt, Indian Spice Blend, and the tomato garlic sauce in a crock pot.
  6. Cook on low for about 8 hours. If the beans have not popped open and the sauce is not coming together you can move them to the stovetop and cook them at a soft bubbly boil until the sauce comes together. If lacking in flavor, add more salt and Indian spice.
  7. Serve chickpeas over rice and/or with Naan bread.

Notes

  • If you are short on time, canned chickpeas can also be used. Skip step one of instructions. Drain the chickpeas and use in place of the dry beans in the crock pot.
