Spiced Chickpeas (Chole)

Serve nice and hot with rice or naan. This is one of my favorite Indian dishes.

Step: 1

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the cumin and ground red chilies, and cook for a few seconds until the spices are fragrant. Add the serrano chiles, onions, garbanzo beans, lemon juice, and water; season to taste with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the vegetables are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with ginger, tomatoes, and cilantro to serve.

The most clear way to pick a side dish is to caught at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and pick more different. If you’re making pasta, make sure for a simple vegetable . Made steak? Go for more light. If you’re making stir-fry with rice, it must not a best idea to adjust with make a rice salad.

This also can apply to cooking method . You don’t want to push more often your oven by making to do list three dishes at once in there, or be juggling four pans on the cooking items . But often you can make a dish do double-duty .
