Curried Chickpeas



Curried chickpeas....yummm. This has all my favorite things right now!...There is ginger, curry powder, and garlic...all it needs is some SOUR CREAM! haha, the funny thing is that it would actually probably go well with sour cream because it is so spicy, but for the sake of my health, I decided to leave it out. I modified this recipe from epicurious.com by substituting tumeric with curry powder. One of these days, I will buy that spice...;) ANywhere, here is what I did.

Ingredients:
1 can of chickpeas
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon cumin
2 cloves of garlic minced
1 inch cube of ginger minced
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (this can be adjusted depending on how spicy you want)

Instructions:
  1. Drain chickpeas and rinse.

  2. In a little olive oil, cook chickpeas in a saucepan.

  3. Add curry powder, cumin, garlic, ginger and cayenne pepper.

  4. Mix until chickpeas are hot.

  5. Serve!!

Super hard huh? Now, I've gotten requests to start putting nutritional values to my dishes and while it's a work in progress, here is what I have got for this one. I just plug the ingredients into a calorie counter website and out comes the results. Now, I am still trying to figure out how I am going to post it...I'd like to eventually make it look all pretty, but you will have to just make do with what I give now. Now, I just put it as 1 serving size because I'm not really sure how to allocate serving sizes and this dish is really more of a side dish so you figure it out!!
