My Indian friends at work gave me this recipe. I have eaten this dish hundreds of times but never made it on my own. My wife loves this dish and I ’m sure your family will too.  



Ingredients

  • 4 cups garbanzo beans
  • 12 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon ghee
  • 2 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 2 teaspoons mustard seeds
  • 2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 2 teaspoon garam masala
  • 2 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 2 bag black tea bags
  • 1/16 cup tamarind 
  • 1 tablespoon  tomato paste
  • dash of salt
  • 1 large diced onion
  • 1 tablespoon diced ginger
     

Recipe

Add 12 cups of water to crock pot. Add the dry garbanzo beans. Turn crock pot to low and cover overnight. Usually 8 hours.

Heat up pan. Add ghee. When ghee is hot add the mustard and cumin seeds. When seeds pop add the onion, garlic and ginger. Cook until golden brown. Add your spices and cook for around one minute. Stir so you don’t burn the spices.
Add 8 cups water from the crock pot. Stir. Add tomato paste, tamarind and tea bags. Bring to boil then simmer for 20 minutes.
Garnish each bowl with sliced tomatoes, onions and fresh cilantro.
