Chick Peas Stir Fry

Well I was planning on a diet where in I wanted to avoid rice and roti for a few days and go ahead with  just vegetables and fruits. I wanted to include chickpeas, peas etc... in my diet. I am not very fond of chick peas sundal. So tried this different dish which I as well as H liked very much and it was yummy to eat plain without rice or roti. Please do try this. I feel this would be a nice accompaniment for roti also.



Ingredients:
Chick peas - 200 grams
Onions - 50 grams
Tomatoes - 25 grams
Coriander powder - 3 grams
garam masala powder - 2 grams
chilly powder - 3 grams
salt and turmeric powder - to taste
Oil - 5 grams
mustard - 3 grams
coriander leaves - few

Method:

• Soak the chick peas in enough water for about 8-10 hours or overnight.
• Pressure cook the chick peas with salt and turmeric powder for about 4 whistles.
• Chop the onions and tomatoes into small pieces.
• In a kadai pour oil, add the mustard. Once mustard splutters, add the chopped onions.
• Fry until the onions turn translucent. Now add the chopped tomatoes.
• Add all the spice powders mentioned in the ingredients and the needed amount of salt for onions and tomatoes.
• Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes are cooked.
• Now add the cooked chick peas. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes so that the onion-tomato mixture and the chick peas blend well.
• Garnish with coriander leaves.

Chick peas stir fry is ready!!!

Note: I have used very less spices since I wanted to eat it plain. Please increase the amount of spices if this needs to be an accompaniment for roti.
