Chick Peas Indian Recipes

Garbanzo beans with various spices
Also known as Chana Masala or Chole Punjabi Style
Vegetarian
Quick and easy to make, I sometimes share with my husband or keep some for the next day. I usually will eat it with 1 slice of WW bread (Calories for bread not included since it is optional)

This is a classic vegetarian Indian dish adapted from a Madhur Jaffrey recipe by Zeke Koch on recipezaar. Yum -- and so healthy.

There are three parts to this recipe - Baking Cauliflower, Carmelizing Tofu and the Dressing - in that order. So everything on the list under the Cauliflower up to the Chick peas relates to the baking of the cauliflower. Chick peas are cooked on their own and then from the ingredient Tofu to the next heading Curry powder which starts the Dressing portion. There are detailed instructions for making a Madras Curry powder from scratch but it is perfectly fine to substitute with pre-made curry blends available everywhere. I also substituted regular tofu with smoked tofu because I am hooked on it as an ingredient - and I add a little starch to the tofu before frying because I like it crispier, but all this is optional.
