Madder Jaffrey’s Indian chickpea curry (chana masala)  

Heat 3 Tbsp canola oil in a Dutch oven, then add in the following order at separate intervals:  3/4 tsp cumin seeds; 1 finely diced onion until browned; 1 tsp freshly grated ginger; ¾ tsp coriander seeds, ¼ tsp cayenne and turmeric; and then 1 ½ tomatoes, grated (skin removed).  Add 1 cup water and 1 tsp salt, bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 10 mins.  Add 28 oz organic chickpeas (drained) along with 1 cup of the chickpea broth.  Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 15 mins. Add ½ tsp garam masala and 1 tsp lemon juice, then simmer uncovered for another 5 mins.  Serve with rice and/or naan (we substituted with whole wheat pita as a lower fat option).  This recipe is from At Home
