Chick Pea Masala....Fragrant and spicy



This is so savory and spicy! I love Indian spices and am always trying to cook with them-my kids well not so much! They'll eat the nNaan bread and basmati rice only! This takes 25 min to make!!

Ingredients:

2 tbsp olive oil

2 minced galic cloves

2 tbsps garam masala

1/4 cup water

1 tsp cumin

1 ground coriander or fresh cilantro (same herb) 1 can 28 oztomatoes (crush them)

2 cans Chick peas

red pepper flakes (make it as hot as you'd like)

In a large sauce pan with olive oil on low heat cook onions until soft and caramalized (10min). Add garlic, all spices, water, cook 2 min. Add crushed tomatoes and juices and simmer fo 1o min. Add the chickpeas and let all the flavors simmer for another 10 minutes. The flavor intensifies the day later. Serve with warmed up Naan bread, whole wheat steamed basmati rice and mango chutney!

Let me know what you think!
