Pakistani Spicy Chickpeas

I think the core concepts of this recipe are good but the details? Not so good. First, I agree - start simmering the onions in step 1. I would maybe add some minced garlic as well. Second - two tomatoes, unless they are huge like beefeaters, are just not enough. I ended up adding a Can of petite diced. And then, with the extra tomatoes, I felt I needed to double the spices - which I did. I simmered on medium low until most of the juices cooked down. While easy - flavors were only so so for us. Glad we tried! Thanks Komal!

I didn't have enough fresh tomatoes, so used a can of diced. This was so delicious! Already made a second time!

We really enjoyed this recipe! I loved how easy it was and it was delicious- I served it over rice as a main dish. It's a good way to take a break from meat during the week, and it's cheap too as long as you already have some of the spices on hand.

This was so easy and super yummy. My toddler and even the baby(almost a year) both devoured it. I used tomatoes fresh from our garden(super sweet) and served it with broiled slices of fresh baby eggplant and zucchini(from the garden) and all of it together made a fabulous lunch, which tasted even better the next day!****EDIT/UPDATE**** Yesterday, I tried this for the first time with canned tomatoes instead of fresh(the season is over) and thought that an update was neccesary. I used a 15 oz can of petite diced tomatoes which worked out well, but b/c of the difference in flavor I ended up doubling all the spices, and also added about 1/2 tbsp of ground cumin as well to get the same flavor I was used to with the fresh tomatoes. Also just to add, like others have stated, I saute the onions adding them to the seeds, and then add the tomatoes. This is still one of my favortie go-to lunches! : )

Quite satisfying. (I wouldn't call it spicy, however.) The Chickpea Curry recipe on this site is a bit tastier, if my memory serves me correctly.

The flavor was good but because the chickpeas hardly softened at all, the texture was pretty unpleasant. I think the seasonings would work well with cauliflower/potato/peas.
