College Student's Saucy Chickpeas

I make a variation of this recipe all the time - saute garlic and onion in EVOO, add a can of chickpeas and a can of tomatoes. Throw in some curry powder, red pepper and whatever else (turmeric, ginger, garam masala).... Delish :)

Very similar to chana masala. A can of coconut milk 'smoothes' out the curry flavor- and don't forget to add sauteed onions, if you can, it totally makes the dish!

I used a half a can of diced tomatoes that also included onions and green peppers. I also added a bit of cumin (to taste) and served it over rice. My boyfriend loved it! It tastes even better the next day. This recipe shows some promise...play around with it, I say.

This recipe gave me a great start and often you just need a basic idea to get you started. I started by sauteing mustard seed in a bit of olive oil. It pops for a while, then add chopped garlic, spices such as curry, basil, cumin, red pepper, etc. and saute a bit more. Then add tomatoes and garbanzos with some veggie broth and the key ingredient, 1-2 T fresh lime juice, and simmer for 15-20 minutes (while the rice is cooking!) yum!

I loved this recipe, just like one I make on the stove, only faster! You can add spinach (canned) too, and it's great!!

I'm really into chickpeas right now so I thought I'd give this one a try. I made a couple of changes to this recipe. I sauted some garlic and onion then added the chickpeas and tomatoes. I used the stovetop rather than the microwave. I also cut down on the amout of curry, I used 3 tsp and it was enough for me. I made white rice to go with it. This recipe was ok, although I don't know if I'll make it again.

A little bland- but perfect for a college student! Cheap and easy to make!

The only good thing about this was how easy it was to make. The portions seem off -- WAY too much curry powder. All in all, it was a little bland.

Not bad.. pretty quick and simple to make.

Easy enough, but not very great tasting. It needs something- but it's okay for a quick lunch.

Waaaaaaay too much curry powder. It really wasn't good at all I'm afraid :[

Easy, low fat, fits with Weight Watcher's Core Program, great summer lunch mostly from the pantry.

It wasn't bad, but you can get tired of the strong curry taste very quickly. Maybe it would work better in a smaller portion as a side-dish.
