Tasty tasty chickpeas!!!
A favourite in our house - really quick and easy to make. Our three year old daughter loves it too and she can be a tad picky!
You will need
2 tins of chickpeas
1 largeish onion
2 cloves of garlic
2 Thai red finger chillis
1 tablespoon of paprika
1 heaped teaspoon cumin
1 level teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon garam masala
Quarter of a teaspoon of turmeric
Pinch of fenugreek (Optional)
Tablespoon of soy sauce - dark
Half a tube of tomato paste about 100 grams
Pinch of salt
Some oil for frying
Some basmati rice or naan bread to enjoy with!
To make
Finely chop your onion, garlic and chilli.
Start frying your onion over a medium heat, don't stir too often, you want it to brown a little
Starting to brown
Once browning a little add your salt, garlic and chilli
Fry for a couple of minutes more and add all the powered ingredients.
Fry for a couple of minutes. Then add the tomato paste.
Stir it all in then add the soy sauce, stir that in and add three quarter of a pint of boiling water, it will bubble!!!
Action shot
Open them chickpeas
Maybe not that way
Stir them in
Now simmer that for ten to fifteen minutes till it thickens up nicely.
Serve with rice!!!
This post made me hungry. Going to try this tomorrow!

A mi me gustan los garbanzos al curry. Muy ricos, se los dia a probar a mi mama y le gustaron! Solamente con cebollas salteadas, mantequilla y curry. Son sencillamente deliciosos.
I would like curried chickpeas

Oh, man, I LOVE chana masala! I love vegetarian Indian food in general, and this dish was my introduction to it, back in college. This would be awesome with a bit of mango chutney on the side. :)

Yum! We love chickpea curries! But to make it even better, do not use chickpeas from a can. Did you know that you could soak and cook a big batch and freeze them for up to a year? We always have them ready in the freezer. Yet another can with preservatives and additives that can be eliminated from your home ;-)

You know I had never really thought on that? I am definitely going to give that a try, the more savings and less cans the better!!! Thank you!!!

Looks great! Making curry at home is far better than the premixxed packaged stuff!

It totally is, I always find more made curries to be awfully sweet

Likely so they appeal to more people, you can always add spice and chili but taking them out is impossible.

So look this looks easy peezy, great way for me to enter vegetarian mode (trying real hard to give up or cut down substantially on the carnivore side of the equation). I will try this for sure and give you a full written report or at least a sentence or two. Thnks for posting, picy's look mouthwateringly lickable, trying to resist. Tesco's hmmm looks suspiciously like a Brit Curry variety . DId you ever do this, Bill Baily warns against it http://bit.ly/2bFurXF

Aaaahhh, yum!!! I can't get enough chickpeas in my life. I made a recipe very similar to this after I visited an authentic Indian restaurant in North Carolina in 2014. Can't wait to try your version :D
