I think I promised to post pictures of the dinner I cooked last night.
My Starting ingredients:
- Oil, 2 tablespoon
- Onions, 2 I slice one into slivers and dice the other.
- Garlic, 4 cloves
- Ginger, sliced.
- Chickpea, 2 tins of 440g
- Tomato, 1 tin of 420g
- Chili powder, 1 teaspoon
- Salt, 1 teaspoon
- Tumeric, 1 teaspoon
- Paprika, 1 teaspoon
- Ground Cumin, 1 tablespoon
- Ground Coriander, 1 tablespoon
- Garam Masala, 1 teaspoon
- Curry leaves (optional)
Heat the oil in a pot and add the diced onions, garlic and ginger.
Cook on a medium/low heat to caramelize the onions. Youll need to keep stirring so that the onions and garlic doesnt burn. When the diced onions start to colour, add the sliced onion to the pot and turn the heat to medium.
Cook for about a minute and then add the chili powder, salt, tumeric, paprika, cumin and coriander to the pot. Keep stirring and frying for another minute.
Add the curry leaves (if you have them otherwise omit them altogether)
.and the tinned tomatoes. Stir and allow to cook for 1 2 minutes.
Add the drained chickpea
.and simmer on a low heat for 15 20 minutes.
Add the garam masala and simmer for another 5 10 minutes.
We bought the paratha from the local indian grocers. Heat on a pan or 30 secs in the micro (which is what we did).
My dinner!
Enjoy!
