Introduction

I was looking for a good recipe for a mild curry. It took some work, and I'm still tweaking it, but here's what I've got so far. I was looking for a good recipe for a mild curry. It took some work, and I'm still tweaking it, but here's what I've got so far.
Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    2 tbsp vegetable or canola oil
    2 medium-sized onions, diced fine
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    2 tsp ginger root, minced fine
    6 whole cloves (can use approx. 1/4 teaspoon ground)
    2 teaspoons cinnamon powder
    1 tsp ground cumin
    1 tsp ground coriander
    1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (can use up to a teaspoon if you want it hotter -- the original recipe I worked from recommended a teaspoon, and it was too warm for me!)
    1 tsp turmeric, ground
    2 cans chickpeas/garbanzo beans, with included liquid
    1 cup cilantro, chopped fine

Tips

If the recipe ends up being too spicy for you, you can add a little honey, some plain yogurt, or some coconut milk to cut the heat and bring out the natural flavors of the spices themselves.


Directions

Put two tablespoons of oil in a large pan. Add onions, and cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onions are nice and tender.

Add garlic, ginger root, clove, cinnamon, cumin, coriander, cayenne, and turmeric, and cook, stirring constantly, for about one minute. Add both cans of beans with their included liquid.

Stir well, and then cook until all ingredients are cooked through and well-mixed flavor-wise.
