Hot and Spicy Chick Peas (VEGETARIAN RECIPE)





Makes 2 servings in 45 minutes


VEGETABLES / Asian (India) / Side Dish / Stove / No marinating





Much of the Indian population is vegetarian, and they enjoy the most extensive vegetable dishes in the world.


This is not only because of the predominant Hindu religion with its respect for all living creatures.


Also feeding 1 billion Indian people nowadays can be done much more efficiently by growing vegetables in stead of animals.


Last but not least: when a refrigerator is not available, it is much easier to use up small portions of vegetables, in stead of having to slaughter and store 1 big animal.





For vegetarian dishes, you will notice that each Indian region has distinct cooking techniques and flavoring principles to prepare them.





You have probably also noticed that there are many, many "curry"-recipes. Actually "Kari" is the Tamil (one of the many languages spoken in India) translation for the English word "sauce". And "curry" is the western way of pronouncing this word.





Before coming to Malaysia, my simple western recipe for using chick peas was to add them in thick soups... Since Malaysia is the melting pot of all Asian cuisines, I notice that there are as much chick pea curry recipes as that there are people here.





Here is one of them: a home-cooked chick pea curry recipe from my Indian friend Ssussi. She uses a lot of fresh ingredients and her recipe takes a bit more of your time than expected for such a simple yet delicious dish.





INGREDIENTS





* 1 can of chick peas (15 1/2 Oz; 439 gr)


* 1 medium onion, finely chopped


* 1 teaspoon ginger, finely chopped


* 1 clove garlic, finely chopped


* 1 green chilly, finely chopped


* 2 medium well ripened tomatoes, seeded and chopped


* 1 tablespoon fresh coriander chopped


* 1 tablespoon lemon juice


* 10 g vegetable oil





* Spices:


- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric


- 1/2 tablespoon ground coriander


- 1 tea spoon "garam masala"


- salt to taste





PREPARATION





1. Drain chick peas, reserving the liquid.





2. Cook the onions, ginger garlic, chilies and turmeric in the vegetable oil until golden and softened.





3. Add the tomatoes and cook to soften, then add the ground coriander and chick peas.





4. Cook for 10 minutes, add the reserved liquid and cook a further 10 minutes.





5. Add "garam masala", lemon juice and stir in the fresh coriander. Cook gently for 2-3 minutes, adding more liquid, if needed, to make a sauce.





Serve with "naan bread", "chapati" or as a side dish.

Riesling is a popular German wine because it can grow in stony areas that have little moisture. Thee grapes are hardy and tough and they do not require the pampering that some other varieties of grapes need which makes them perfect for German wine. And this type of German wine can last for many years due to its favorable acid levels.

The crops of the grapes used in this German wine are always plentiful. This is due in part to the great growing conditions and the grapes ability to thrive with little water as well as their tough exterior. These grapes used to make this German wine are very frost resistant. They do not shrivel and wither when it gets cold out which is great for German weather.
