Measure spices into a small bowl (ground spices). In large sauce pan (We
use a big ole "gumbo pot"-- a well-seasoned cast iron pot) over med-high
heat: "Fry" spices, stirring constantly w/wooden spatula. Add onion & "fry"
until edges brown. Add 1/4 cup lemon juice, chick peas, tomatoes. Lower
heat and simmer about 30 mins. Add additional lemon juice if too dry.
Serve w/basmati rice, cucumber raitta (or plain yogurt), warmed pita (or
Indian) bread, and mango chutney (or other chutneys and fruit). We like to
put a heart of romaine lettuce on the table, too.
[Great cold lunch in a pita pocket with yogurt & a bit of chutney on top!]
We *never* make this in the one-can-of-chickpeas quantity. You have to
experiment with the spices when you make more--the spices should be "to
taste." We have frozen it successfully, but usually we just keep it in the
fridge and eat on it all week. Have been known to make this substituting
canned for fresh tomatoes, bottled lemon juice, and whatever. p.s. We
don't put salt in any Indian food--use lemon juice, and lots of it. Enjoy!
