Here’s another vegetarian dish to
satisfy your elegant cuisine cravings. While many Indian dishes are made with
some form of meat, fish or chicken, there are many that are strictly veggie,
like this one.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced fresh
gingerroot
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and
finely chopped, optional
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes,
undrained
1 can (15 ounces) garbanzo beans
or chickpeas, rinsed and drained
3 cups of hot cooked brown rice
1/4 cup plain yogurt
Minced fresh cilantro
Directions
In a large skillet, heat oil over
medium heat. Add onion, ginger, garlic and, if desired, jalapeno; cook and stir
until onion is softened and lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Add salt and spices;
cook and stir 1 minute longer.
Stir in tomatoes and garbanzo
beans; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until flavors are
blended, 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve with rice. Top with yogurt
and cilantro.
