This is a wonderful dish. Nothing fancy, but delicious. The beauty of it is that if you cook indian/southeast asian food on anything like a regular basis, you have all these ingredients just lying around. I was on the tail end of a four hour drive home, thinking about all the nothing in my fridge when I remembered I had canned chickpeas and tomatoes, and voila! This recipe was top of the search engine. I did not follow this recipe to a tee, so I cannot attest to its proportions, but if you are a relatively adequate cook you should be able to throw these ingredients in a pan and make something hearty, spicy and alluring. Perfect for a chilly autumn or winter dinner.

- 1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 teaspoons garam masala
- 1 1/2 teaspoons brown mustard seeds
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
- 1/2 cup light coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon chopped seeded jalapeño pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 2 (15 1/2-ounce) cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained
- 1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 (8-ounce) can no-salt-added tomato sauce
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Preparation
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion, ginger, and garlic; cook 5 minutes. Stir in garam masala, mustard seeds, and red pepper; cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in coconut milk and remaining ingredients except cilantro; bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat, and simmer 35 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in chopped cilantro.
