Chickpeas In A Garlic Ginger Sauce Food

CURRIED CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the ginger and garlic, mashing with the back of a spoon to thoroughly combine.
• In a heavy-based saucepan over medium-high heat, warm 1 1/2 tablespoons oil and cook the onions, stirring constantly, until they start to turn golden brown, 2 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until softened, 6 to 8 minutes more.
• Add the ginger-garlic paste and cook for a few seconds, then add the tomato paste and continue to cook until well blended, about 1 minute more.
• Remove from the heat, carefully move the mixture to a blender or food processor, add enough cold water to just cover the mixture (probably about 1/2 cup), and then blend until smooth.
• In the same saucepan over high heat, warm 1 1/2 tablespoons oil and add the turmeric, chili powder, coriander, and cayenne, if using. Cook, stirring, until the spices change color, 10 to 15 seconds. Carefully add 3 to 4 tablespoons of cold water to the pan and continue to cook until the water has evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add the chickpeas and mix well, then cook until the chickpeas are heated through, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Stir in the sauce from the blender and season with salt. Rinse out the blender with 2 to 3 tablespoons of cold water and add this to the pan as well. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until heated through, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Garnish with cilantro and serve with rice.

CHICKPEAS IN GINGER SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Drain chickpeas, reserving liquid. Put oil in large skillet, and turn heat to medium high. Add chopped onions; cook 5 minutes, or until they turn light brown, stirring occasionally. Add ginger and garlic, reduce heat to medium and cook 2 minutes, stirring. 2. Add coriander, cardamom, mango powder (but not lemon juice), cayenne and black pepper. Stir; then add tomato. Cook until tomato becomes saucy and begins to separate from the oil, about 5 minutes. Add the reserved chickpea liquid, the lemon juice if you are using it, salt and 1/2 cup water. 3. Cover, and turn heat to low; simmer about 10 minutes, or until mixture is thickened. Add chickpeas, cover and cook 10 minutes longer. Taste, and adjust seasoning. Serve, passing sliced onion and chili at the table.

INDIAN BUTTER CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook until golden and browned around the edges, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. (Don't be tempted to turn the heat up to medium-high; keeping the heat on medium ensures even browning without burning the butter.)
• Stir in garlic and ginger, and cook another 1 minute. Stir in cumin, paprika, garam masala and cinnamon stick, and cook another 30 seconds.
• Add tomatoes with their juices. Using a large spoon or flat spatula, break up and smash the tomatoes in the pot (or you can use a pair of kitchen shears to cut the tomatoes while they are still in the can). Stir in coconut milk and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, and continue to cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, and continuing to mash up the tomatoes if necessary to help them break down.
• Stir in chickpeas and a pinch of cayenne if you like. Bring the pot back up to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for another 10 minutes. Taste and add more salt if necessary.
• Serve spooned over white rice, and topped with cilantro.

• Bring to a boil until the sauce simmers. Fry for a further few minutes.
