Chana Masala

1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained, reserving 3 tablespoons liquid
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
fresh black pepper, to taste
crushed red pepper, optional, to taste
1 tablespoon margarine
1. Heat oil on medium high heat. Fry onions until slightly browned. Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic, curry, and paste.
2. Stir and simmer about 2 minutes. Add chickpeas, reserved liquid, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Simmer 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Add red pepper to taste. Add margarine, stirring through to melt it. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes more or until peas are softened and dish is hot. Serve over rice.'
SO HOW'D IT GO?
i just noticed that this was put over a bed of quinoa in that picture. i haven't tried that yet. i usually use couscous, but now i must try it with quinoa
yes rivers, your photographs really enhance the recipes' appeal. i noticed them yesterday. the food looks particularly appealing and edible. i feel sure they will attract attention to the recipes they represent. well done for your apparently considered efforts. keep up the good work.
This sounds and looks wonderful. I think I will be trying this one out this weekend and then post again what I think of it. UNRELATED: Rivers, your food pics are awesome! :)
Thanks so much! ;D

it works best with chickpeas. i've made it with lentils AND chickpeas so i guess you could try it with lentils! it's best with chickpeas for sure
Is there another bean that I can substitute for the chick peas? I'd love to make this for my boyfriend, but he doesn't like chick peas. Thanks.
This was so good. I added diced tomatoes and Garam Masala. I served it on Quinoa because I was out of Basmati and it was very good. Thanks for the recipe.
This is an awesome recipe. I substituted the lite coconut milk for the margarine and 1T. garam masala for the spices and it turned out so delicious my carnivorous husband said I should double it next time...I don't think there's a better compliment I could give. YUM!
how many searvings is this recipe? Sounds great though. ;D
