How to Make Curried Garbanzo Beans

  1. In a medium saucepan, heat 1/2 inch of water (about 1 cup). Add 1 teaspoon curry powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, and a pinch of salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  2. Add 1 (15-ounce) can of garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed, and enough water to barely cover the beans (about 1/2 cup).
  3. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low. Mash a few of the garbanzo beans with a potato masher or fork to thicken the sauce.
  4. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the juice of 1/2 lemon, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, and 1/2 cup chopped tomato.
  6. Taste and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot or cold over basmati rice.
