Indian Bean and Potato ThingIngredients (use vegan versions): 2 cans garbanzo beans
1 medium yellow onion, chopped (sweet onions also work well)
1 or 2 tomatoes (preferably organic because the color is redder, which looks better)
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper (I usually add a whole tsp, but that's just me)
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 potato, peeled and chopped
2 tablespoon vegetable oil
Directions:Fry the onion in oil until slightly brown. Add onion, chopped tomatoes, garbanzo beans (and two cans full of water), garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to pot on medium high heat. Let cook for 20 minutes. Add chopped potato. I usually add a little bit of red pepper and chili powder here, but its not necessary. Let cook for another 20-25 minutes. Add red pepper, cumin, and chili powder. Reduce heat to medium low and cook for another 5-7 minutes.
Ideally, the final product should be a very thick mixture and not runny at all--if it is, drain some of the water.
Serve with rice and vegan pita bread or tortilla.
Serves: 6
Preparation time: 50 minutes
This was EXCELLENT. I would add the potatoes earlier and add more water so it would cook down nice and tender and thick. I added the extra red pepper and chili powder and served it over brown rice made in the steamer -- it tasted better than our neighborhood Indian restaurant! Yummy!

I omitted the tomatoes and chili powder and added two tablespoons of yellow curry powder. It was fantastic over brown rice.

This was great! I added the potatoes along with the chickpeas, etc. It only took about 30 minutes to cook. It was delicious! Thanks for posting this recipe.

this is a very good recipe. i threw some quinoa in it, along with some mushrooms and used vegetable broth instead of the two cans of water. the whole (meat eating) family loved it! id love to throw some celery into this as well
