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.
