Steps:
- Drain the chickpeas, add to a large pan with 400ml of water and season. Bring to the boil, then turn off the heat and set aside to allow the chickpea flavour to infuse the water.
- Blitz the onions with the garlic, ginger and green chillies. Melt the ghee in a large saucepan, then add the onion mix with a pinch of salt and cook for 8-10 mins, until softened.
- Stir in the spices, and cook for 3 more mins, adding a splash of the chickpea water to stop them sticking to the bottom of the pan. Add the tomatoes and another splash of water and cook for 5 mins, squishing the tomatoes with a spoon as they soften. Tip in the chickpeas, along with their cooking water. Cook for 10 mins. Season well, add the lemon juice, and a splash of water if you like a looser curry. Scatter with the coriander, to serve.

SLOW COOKER CHANA MASALA
Chana Masala or Amritsari Chole is one of the most popular dishes in India. It is a heavy breakfast which is generally accompanied with lassi. Chana Masala or popularly known as Choley is served with Bhature [Indian fried bread] onions, pickle and green chutney. Bhatura chole is a breakfast invented in Delhi post partition and nowadays, it is popular breakfast around north-west India and other parts of the Country. A friend of mine introduced me to Slow Cookers but I was not sure if I can cook any Indian food. Since the concept of slow cooking is very popular in India and my grandmother would always use this method I went ahead and tied. I must say, anyone trying to cook Indian food should try slow cooker as the results are simply amazing. It enhances the flavor of food ten folds. Here is a very easy recipe.

Steps:
- Switch on your slow cooker at low for 8 hours.
- In a pan boil 4-5 cups of water with tea bags, add chickpeas once the water is boiling along with bay leaf, cinnamon and cloves. Lower the heat and let the pan simmer for 10 minutes. Discard the tea bags.
- In another pan, heat the oil and add cumin seeds. Once seeds crack, add onion and fry until light brown. Add garlic and ginger, fry for another 1-2 minutes. Add chana masala powder, chili powder, coriander powder and 1/4 cup water. Lower the heat to simmer and let the spices cook until oil seperates. Add tomato puree/chopped tomatoes at this stage and fry for another 4-5 minutes.
- Transfer the above spice mix and chickpeas [along with water used for boiling] to your slow cooker. Add salt and give it a stir. Ensure your slow cooker has enough water to cook for 8 hours else the curry will burn and stick.
- Garnish with chopped coriander leave, lemon wedges and some sliced onion. Serve hot with steamed rice.
- I usually set it up at night and it's absolutely awesome waking up to wonderful aroma of the curry, lunch ready to be packed for office.
- Don't have canned chickpeas? You can also cook this with dried chickpeas. Soak 2 cups of dried chickpeas for 7-8 hours in enough water. Pressure cook the chickpeas separately for 8-10 whistles or until soft and proceed with the recipe.

Steps:
- Place a large saute pan over medium heat. When hot, add the olive oil. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and golden, 7-8 minutes. Add the garlic and saute, stirring frequently, for one more minute. Add ginger, cardamom, cumin, garam masala, coriander, cayenne powder, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Stir constantly for about 30 seconds to toast spices a bit. Pour in the tomatoes and stir, breaking up the tomatoes with a spoon and scraping the bottom of the pan to release any onion and spices stuck to the bottom.
- Pour tomato and onion mixture into the slow cooker. Add chickpeas and stir gently to combine. Cook on low for 8 hours, or high for 3-4 hours. Taste and add additional salt if desired.
- Scoop into bowls. Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice and plenty of cilantro leaves, and/or plain yogurt if you prefer.
CHANA MASALA IN THE SLOW COOKER
Ever since a new Indian restaurant opened up in our town last fall, I can't get enough. It's become my new foodie obsession. For me, it wasn't enough to just enjoy a nice meal out every other month. I wanted to recreate these colorful flavors at home. If you're new to Indian cooking, don't let these recipes overwhelm you. Just because the list of ingredients is longer than usual, it doesn't mean they're difficult or expensive. It's true, you may have to spend a little bit on your initial investment in Indian cookery. Garam Masala, Turmeric, and other spices are a must, and they can set you back $5-7 per bottle. However, they last a long time and ensure the authentic flavors of India. Plus, most of the other ingredients required are inexpensive and help offset the cost of the spices. This recipe for one of my favorites, Chana Masala, is so flavorful you'll forget that it's vegetarian...and frugal!

- Place in the crockpot along with the rest of the ingredients, except the salt and the coriander leaves
- Add 3 cups water and set the slow cooker on high. (It is important to set this on high. Do not tweak to a low setting because the water won't cook off and you want the raw ingredients like the onions and tomatoes to cook thoroughly), I had originally suggested adding more water, but some readers say that's too much for them, so I suggest starting out with 3 cups and adding more if the mixture dries up. Six cups was just right in my cooker. Be sure to use drained chickpeas, and if you use the cooking water, factor that into the total amount of liquid used.
