a.. 2 tbsp canola oil

b.. 1 onion, diced

c.. 2 cloves garlic, minced

d.. 1 inch ginger, peeled and grated

e.. 1 tsp cumin

f.. 1 tsp coriander

g.. 1 tsp turmeric

h.. 1 tsp salt

i.. 1 c. dried or 1 15 oz. can chickpeas

j.. 12 oz diced tomatoes

k.. 1/2 tsp garam masala

Directions:

1.. Cooking Chickpeas:

2.. If you are using dried chickpeas, boil them for 5 minutes the night

before. Discard the water. Soak them overnight and change the soak water

once while soaking. Discard the soak water again. Cook the chickpeas in the

pressure cooker for about 10 min before adding the chickpeas to the

crockpot.

3.. Canned Chickpeas: rinse and drain them thoroughly before using them.

4.. In a stainless steel or cast iron pan, saute oil, onions, ginger, and

garlic for 5 minutes.

5.. Place onion mixture and all other ingredients except for garam masala

in a crock pot.

6.. Cook on low for 6-9 hours. Before serving, add garam masala. If using

canned chickpeas, cook on low for 2-3 hrs.

7.. Tips:

8.. If you don't have a crock pot, you can make this recipe by cooking on

medium high heat on the stove in a covered saucepan for 30 min in place of

using the crock pot.

9.. Try adding other veggies, like carrots or bell peppers.

10.. Add a chopped up jalapeno or some cayenne to give your recipe a kick.
