Here’s a popular Indian curry that is so economical, your family will never have to know they’re eating a super thrifty meal! I like to cook my chickpeas (as they are known in English, or garbanzo beans in Spanish) from the dried state as in the recipe below because I can control the salt content. But you can cut down on preparation time by using canned chickpeas, if you prefer.
1) Heat olive oil or butter or ghee in a large saucepan.
2) Sauté 3 chopped onions in the oil until golden brown.
3) Reduce heat to low, add grated ginger root, minced garlic, ground coriander, ground cumin, chilli powder, jalapeño peppers, and stir-fry two minutes.
4) Stir in vegetable stock.
5) Add diced potato, minced sweet red pepper, and chickpeas.
6) If using dried chickpeas, soak them overnight in cold water, drain, cover with fresh water, bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 30 to 40 minutes.
7) Add chickpeas to the pan of spiced veggies and stir.
8) Cover and simmer 5 minutes.
9) Sprinkle with lemon juice upon serving.
10) Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves, if desired. Goes great with chapati.
