Curried Garbanzo Beans

Ingredients

3 c. cooked garbanzos
1 T. butter or oil
1 teaspoon each coriander, cumin, turmeric
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
3/8 teaspoon each ground cloves, cinnamon
3 cloves garlic
1/3 teaspoon ground ginger
2 T. lemon juice
1 T. fresh cilantro
1 diced tomato

Instructions

Heat butter or oil in saucepan; cook spices over low heat for a few minutes. Stir in garbanzos and enough liquid to just barely cover. Stir well; mash a few beans with a fork or potato masher. Cook beans over medium heat for about 20 minutes, or until sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice, cilantro (chopped) and tomato. Variation: Use 2 cups dry lentils instead of garbanzos; boil lentils until done and mix with spices. This makes an excellent dal.
