Chickpea and Tomato Curry

Name: Chickpea and Tomato Curry

Total time: 30 min

Ingredients: 3 tablespoons neutral oil; 4 medium garlic cloves, chopped; 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger; 2 teaspoons garam masala; 2 teaspoons curry powder; Kosher salt and ground black pepper; 4 15½-ounce cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained; 14½ ounce can crushed tomatoes; Optional garnish: Chopped fresh cilantro OR finely chopped white onion OR chopped jalapeño chilies OR plain yogurt OR a combination

30 minutes

Open a few cans, measure some spices, prep a couple aromatics, stir for a few minute, and dinner is on the table. Our starting point was chana masala, a popular Indian curry of chickpeas and tomatoes. To simplify the seasoning, we reach for two spice blends that offer big, complex flavor in a single jar: garam masala and curry powder. Serve with basmati rice or warmed naan

Thanks to your other reviewers...

Thanks to other reviewers for suggesting to add spinach to the pot, then a splash of lemon juice and a dollop of yogurt to each serving. These plus several slices of pickled jalapeño made this into a very fine dish.

Want nutrition info, too

Love this recipe

Added a splash of lemon to brighten the flavor. A dollop of yogurt in each bowl added a some additional texture and tang. This was quick and delicious.

Stu B.

Love this one. Wish you also included nutritional information with recipes.

Added spinach. Nice touch and helps bulk it. Only used three tins of pea, perfect for two people. Next time i will zap a tin of peas in the blender, to add a bit more thickness to it.

Approximately how long does it take for sauce to thicken and cling to the chickpeas?

Lynn C.

Hi PK -

It shouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes for the sauce to thicken.

Best,

A few chickpeas go a long way. This took a while to finish off.

Mel S.

This was great! We used frozen tomatoes from the garden instead of crushed canned ones.
