I got this recipe from a friend's mom. It is a really nice vegetarian dish. 


Ingredients:
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 medium tomato, chopped
  •  29 oz can of chickpeas
  • 1 tbsp. minced garlic
  • 3/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 tbsp. cumin
  • 1 tbsp. coriander powder
  • 1 tsp. turmeric powder
  • Crushed red peppers (as much as you want depending on how spicy you want it)
  • Water
  • Oil

Directions:
  1. Heat oil in pan.
  2. Cook onions until brown.
  3. Add garlic, tomato, and spices.
  4. Allow mixture to simmer until it becomes a brown color.
  5. Add water if mixture becomes dry.
  6. Add chickpeas.
  7. Allow to simmer for 15-20 minutes, adding water as needed.
  8. The dish is finished once the chickpeas become soft.
