ROASTED CHICKPEAS WITH INDIAN SPICES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use paper towels to dry off the chickpeas as thoroughly as you can. Do not skip this step. Making sure the chickpeas are really dry is the key to achieving the ultimate crunch.
• Place the dry chickpeas on a rimmed baking sheet. Add the tablespoon of oil and mix the beans until well coated.
• Add the spices and stir to coat. I find it is easiest to mix with my hands.
• Place in the oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the chickpeas are crispy. Stir them every 10 minutes so they cook evenly. Make sure to watch them closely during the last 10 minutes so they don't burn.
• Allow to cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm or room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. They tend to lose their crispiness after 1 day, but I think they're still good. I bet you won't have an issue scarfing the whole batch down in one sitting. Enjoy!

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Stir together the chickpeas, lemon juice, olive oil, brown sugar, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, garam masala, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and salt in a mixing bowl. Spread the chickpea mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven until the chickpeas are dark brown in spots, crisp, and have shrunk quite a bit, 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time. Cool to room temperature before serving.

INDIAN SPICY-SOUR CHICKPEAS WITH CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Combine lemon juice and grated ginger in a small cup and set aside.
• Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat and add oil. Saute onion and cook until onion begins to brown (approx. 4 minutes). Add jalapeno and continue cooking until onion is brown all over (4-5 minutes). Add tomatoes, cumin, coriander, tumeric, cardamon, cloves and salt. Stir and cook one minute. Add drained chickpeas and 1/2 cup water. Cover and cook over medium heat for approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding additional water if mixture becomes dry.
• In a separate pan, combine cauliflower and 1/4 cup water. Cover and cook over medium-high heat, stirring carefully every minute or so until cauliflower is tender (approx. 7 min.). Uncover cauliflower and boil off any excess liquid. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice mixture. Combine cauliflower with chickpea mixture and add in chopped cilantro.
• Serve with a green salad and naan bread or as a side dish.

SPICY INDIAN CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Heat large skillet and swirl in the oil. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger. Saute until soft and lightly golden, 5 to 6 minutes.
• In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon, garam masala, cumin, coriander, cloves, cayenne, and salt. Add to the onion mixture; cook and stir in the spices to lightly toast, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another few minutes to combine. The color should be dark red.
• Add the chickpeas plus the cup of reserved liquid. Stir to combine. Cover and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, removing the cover in the last few minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit for a minute to allow the beans to soak up the spice flavors. Season with salt to taste.
• Serve in a shallow bowl garnished with the sliced onion, tomato wedges, and slices of green chiles.

CHANA MASALA (SAVORY INDIAN CHICK PEAS)

Steps:

• Grind onion, tomato, ginger, garlic, and chile pepper together in a food processor into a paste.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry bay leaves in hot oil until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour the paste into the skillet and cook until the oil begins to separate from the mixture and is golden brown in color, 2 to 3 minutes. Season the mixture with chili powder, coriander, powder, gram masala, turmeric, and salt; cook and stir until very hot, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir enough water into the mixture to get a thick gravy; bring to a boil and stir chickpeas into the gravy. Reduce heat to medium and cook until the chickpeas are heated through, 5 to 7 minutes. Garnish with cilantro.
