Chana Masala

1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained, reserving 3 tablespoons liquid
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
fresh black pepper, to taste
crushed red pepper, optional, to taste
1 tablespoon margarine
1. Heat oil on medium high heat. Fry onions until slightly browned. Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic, curry, and paste.
2. Stir and simmer about 2 minutes. Add chickpeas, reserved liquid, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Simmer 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Add red pepper to taste. Add margarine, stirring through to melt it. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes more or until peas are softened and dish is hot. Serve over rice.'
SO HOW'D IT GO?
This recipe is great! It's really quick and easy, and very tasty. I added more of each spice, some garam masala , and coconut milk. Really good!
I love this recipe. My personal changes are: add a little ground cinnamon, and I usually use 4 or 5T tomato sauce instead of paste. I make it at least once a week, it's an extremely healthy and delicious meal! It's amazing together with lots of peas and brown rice or couscous.
this was great! i also added turmeric. and doubled or maybe tripled the amount of tomato paste. turned out soooo good! i'm no longer afraid to cook indian food!
This is delicious and so easy! I went a little overboard on the red pepper, but it warmed me up after a chilly bike ride. Thanks for sharing!!
;D !YUM YUM YUMMY! ;D
This was so quick and easy, even when low on groceries and time I had everything for it. Can't want for lunch tomarrow!
Yum!! I made this for my family when they came up to visit, and even my carnivorous, anti-chickpea stepfather loved it. My mother insisted on getting a copy of the recipe. :)

Me too! Have a new kitchen to play with this weekend, so hope to be very busy with recipes like this one, can't wait! ;)

This recipe was amazing! As I was cooking it, I was worried a little about whether or not I would like it, but it came together wonderfully in the end! This is probably one of my favorite recipes I have gotten off of this web-site! I am cooking it again tomorrow for a potluck.
I served it over couscous.
