Chickpea Curry
One of the best chickpea meals - once I tried it, I was sure it was going to be one of the most often cooked side dishes in our family. Even though it was very filling and I wasn't hungry anymore, I just couldn't stop thinking about it, I just couldn't wait to eat again :)
This is how I started to boil larger amounts of chickpea, to have it ready anytime for this curry recipe.
If you don't have all the flavours, just improvise, use some garlic instead of curry and it will still be the best chickpea meal or side dish.

Step by step
Step 1
Heat the oil in a skillet and add the mustard seeds - or skip them.
Step 2
Cover with a lid or a sieve skillet lid, the mustard seeds will start bouncing just like the popcorn kernels.
Step 3
When they stop bouncing, turn the heat down and stir in diced onion.
Mix and cook until brown - it won't take long, as the oil is hot.
Step 4
Add in diced tomatoes, the rest of the spices, mix to combine and let simmer altogether for about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Now tip in the boiled chickpeas, stir and simmer for 5 more minutes.
Step 6
Adjust with salt and garnish with chopped parsley - here I used dried parsley.
Serve as a meal or a side dish to go with anything you like - it's so flavourful and tasty.
Enjoy!
