IMG_3208 - Chick Peas 2

Life is going thru a lot of change lately, change of pace, mind, taste, locations, perceptions and decisions. So finally for a change I decided to steer away from making another dessert. You can think of this as a warm chickpea salad or a curry. It is a very easy dish to make and you can substitute any of these ingredients to your liking except for chickpeas.

  • Sugar – 1 tsp
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Salt to taste
  • Scallions – 2 tbs
  • Green chillies – 1 tbs
  • Crushed dried chillies – 2 tbs
  • Juice of half a lemon

INSTRUCTIONS: 

  1. Sauté the eggplant and the tomatoes till it softens.
  2. Add the chickpeas and cumin, let it simmer for 5 minutes keeping it covered.
  3. Add the rest of the ingredients , stir and cover the lid for approximately 10 minutes and let it sit on a medium flame.
