From: cpa@gis.net This recipe is from INDIAN LIGHT COOKING, which I've told you about before. It is our *Fave* dal recipe so far. Quick & Easy to fix, too!
Remove 1 c. chickpeas (including the liquid) from 1 can of chickpeas. Drain. Coarsely chop. In a food processor or blender, process the remaining chickpeas and the liquid to a puree. Set aside.
Heat a nonstick saucepan over moderate heat. Add the cumin seeds and stir until they crackle, about 10 seconds. Add onion, ginger & garlic. Stir until onion is translucent. Add turmeric, coriander and red pepper. Cook, stirring, for about 20 seconds, being careful not to burn. Add tomato sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer 1 minute. Add chopped & pureed chickpeas. Cook, stirring, 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to blend. Add salt to taste.* Remove from heat. Add lime juice and stir. YUM!
Serve with rice, whole wheat bread, and a yogurt salad (raitta). "For a special treat, try Piquant Lime Rice."
*we watch our sodium, so instead of using salt we doubled the lime juice. This would make a great party dip with pita triangles, if it were pureed a bit more completely.

| Sherri writes: Thanks for this great chickpea recipe that can be made into a different flavored dip other than hummus, even though we love hummus, we need more flavors for chickpea dishes. I'm saving it! Posted on 03 Jun 2010, 06:43 ET |

| Anne writes: I refer to this as Fool as well. I make this all the time and I love having it for breakfast because it keeps you full for a long time. I make it a bit different than the recipe above. That's what is great about this, you can add or omit indredients you don't have. I use tomatoes cut in cubes no tomatoe sauce and I use red and green peppers. Posted on 20 May 2011, 10:49 ET |
