Hi friends! Before I post a recipe I would like to tell u a little about myself.

I have been pretty much away from my parents in the last 9 to 10 years. First I left Kuwait and went to India for studies for 5 years and then I came to USA. Jala khana kha kha ke ji bhar gaya and buying food from restaurants is a bit too expensive.

Finally I decided to learn cooking from internet and since then internet has been my biggest help in cooking nice delicious and unburnt food! ..lol

However I dont always have in my house what the recipe requires and im a late night person, its kinda strange but I mostly cook, eat, draw and paint, etc...at late nights when the stores are closed. So eventually I come up with my own recipes with a little help from the internet.

Here is one such recipe when I was starving one night and didnt have nothing in the house but a can of chickpeas/garbanzo beans/cooked or boiled chana.

Ingredients-

1 can Garbanzo beans or boiled tender chana(16oz/1lb)
1/4 cup Green onions, chopped
1/4 cup Tomato, chopped
A pinch Garlic powder/paste
1/2 cup Red Pasta sauce/ 1/2 tsp tomato paste
1/4 tsp Hot sauce
1 tbsp Oil
1/2 cup Curd/plain yoghurt (u can add less or more curd according to the consistency u prefer)
Salt to taste

A pinch of each listed below -

turmeric powder
cumin powder
red chilli powder
dried oregano/parsley/mint (whatever herb available)
curry powder
and a very tiny pinch of garam masala

* if u prefer very spicy food u can add half of a very finely chopped green hot pepper and add them to the pan along with the green onions.


Directions -

Heat oil in a pan.
Add green onions.
When the onions start getting soft or translucent (in about 2mins)add tomatoes.Stir.
After a min. add garlic, and as soon as it starts sticking to the pan add chickpeas (drained)
Keep stiring as u add the pasta sauce, hot sauce, all the six spices mentioned above with some salt and lastly add the curd. Stir well and bring it to a boil before u take it off the stove.

This tastes good with fresh soft puris or white cooked rice and fried drumsticks/chicken legs.

Enjoy! :)
