Chickpeas, garbanzo beans, or kabuli chana are popular for good reason. Delicious, easy to cook, and versatile, these legumes are high in protein and fiber, and low in fat. They are a fantastic addition to any diet including a vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free one.
Soak one cup of washed chana in water overnight. Drain and add to a roomy pot with 2 tablespoons each minced onion, ginger, and garlic; ½ tsp each turmeric and red chile powders, 1 tsp each cumin seeds and salt, 2 tsp each garam masala and coriander powder and 10 cups water. Simmer partially covered for 2 hours. Enjoy over rice or with Indian bread … it’s as easy as pie … Indian as Apple Pie!
