Easy chickpea curry...

I had no ideas of what to cook for dinner, so I pulled out some cookbooks, and the next thing I know, I'm making my first chickpea curry. It tastes a lot like the one at the Indian buffet we frequent and it's easy! Our house does smell of onions, but I did make curry for dinner so my family will be pleased.

Ingredients:

2 onions

4 garlic cloves

1 tbsp oil

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp salt

1 tsp tumeric

1 tsp paprika

1 tbsp ground cumin

1 tbsp ground coriander

1 can chickpeas

2 cups diced tomatoes with juice

1 tsp garam masala

Directions:

1. Slice onions, finely. crush the garlic. Heat oil in medium sauce pan. Add onion and garlic too pan, cook over medium heat, stirring, until soft.
