Hunger Challenge Recipe: Curried Garbanzo Beans – a healthy dish full of fresh, nutritious beans for a quick lunch or dinner. Super affordable and easy to make!

Recipe Description

I’ve mentioned before that I love Indian food but have no clue how to cook it properly since I have not yet been taught all the proper spice combination secrets. However, it doesn’t mean that I don’t try to make something Indian-esque from time to time. Though this is far from authentic, it’s still full of the flavor and aroma that Indian cuisine is known for, making this a delicious and healthy option for anyone to try.

Though the spice issue can be a problem for some, especially if you’re not able to afford or find some of the more exotic spices out there, one good thing about food from this area of the world is that it’s based in what I call “bare bones staples” (things like grains & legumes). This makes it easy to make some pretty basic recipes at the very least, and you can find most of these items in most grocery stores. If you are lucky enough to have a decently stocked spice pantry, you can play around with aromas and flavors as much as you like. That’s exactly what I did with this simple dish. What if you find spices to be too expensive? Check out my tip on how to Find Your Spice Staples for some cost-effective tips on how to stock your spice pantry. Even with a very, very limited income, (which I, myself, am definitely feeling right now), you can still have access and afford some of the things that can make even the most ordinary food really tasty.

Ingredients

Method

Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until they begin to soften and become translucent. Add the beans and about half the reserved liquid, as well as the diced tomatoes and all the spices. Cook over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes or so, allowing the garbanzos to soften and absorb the flavor. The sauce should thicken on its own during the cooking process. Serve over white rice, add some fresh cilantro if you like, and enjoy!
