Another Indian Recipe

This dish is vegan. Unless you "contaminate" your food by using the same spoon to stir, when cooking multiple dishes. Otherwise, this is entirely meat-, dairy-, and egg-free.

This dish is also one of my favorite comfort foods. It's so good anytime, but I really love it on very hot days or very cold days.

Curried Garbanzo Beans

Tools
* medium heavy-bottomed sauce pan
* spoon
* knife and cutting board

Ingredients
* 1 onion, diced
* 1 Tbs minced garlic
* 1 Tbs minced ginger
* 1/2 tsp turmeric (I like a little more... adjust as you like)
* 1 tsp ground cumin
* 1 tsp Garam Masala
* 1/2 tsp chili powder, or to taste
* salt
* 1 can of garbanzo beans in liquid
* a handful of fresh, chopped cilantro for garnish

Prepare Curried Garbanzo Beans
Caramelize the diced onions; should take about 8-10 minutes.

Add all spices and cook to combine flavors for about a minute.

Add the can of beans with liquid. Simmer, covered, for about 20 minutes; you may want to add just a little more water (or broth of your choice) if the mixture becomes too dry. Uncover, cook a while longer, to absorb most of the moisture.

Serve hot with rice, garnished generously with chopped cilantro.
