Chickpea Curry Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp organic canola oil
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (substitute asoefetida if desired)
• 1 inch ginger, peeled and grated
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp coriander
• 1 tsp turmeric
• 1 tsp salt
• 3 cups cooked chickpeas or 2 15 oz. cans chickpeas
• 2 cups water or bean cooking liquid
• 12 oz diced tomatoes
• 1/2 tsp garam masala

Directions:

• Cooking Chickpeas:
• If you are using dried chickpeas, soak them for 12 hours and change the soak water once while soaking. Discard the soak water again. Add fresh water just to cover.
• Pressure Cooker: Cook the chickpeas in the pressure cooker for about 10 min before adding the chickpeas to the crockpot
• Crockpot: Add chickpeas and water to cover to the crockpot and cook on low for 8 hours
• Stovetop: Add chickpeas and water to cover to a large saucepan, bring to a boil, skim the foam, cover and cook on low for 2 hours
• Canned Chickpeas: rinse and drain them thoroughly before using

• In a stainless steel or cast iron pan, sauté oil, onions, ginger, and garlic for 5 minutes
• Place onion mixture and all other ingredients except for garam masala in a Crockpot
• Add more water if need to bring the liquid just to the top of the beans. Add more water during cooking if needed.
• Cook on low for 6 hours. Before serving, add garam masala
• Tips:
• If you don't have a Crockpot, you can make this recipe by cooking on medium-low heat on the stove in a covered saucepan for 30 min in place of using the Crockpot
• Try adding other veggies, like carrots or bell peppers
• Add a chopped up jalepeno or some cayenne to give your recipe a kick

Note: The actual time spent prepping or cooking is 10 - 15 minutes. The long soaking and cooking of dried chick peas, plus the slow cooker time, takes two days, but if you use canned chick peas, you can do a quick prep in the morning and eat in the evening. That's the beauty of slow cooking!
