Chickpea Masala with Fragrant Basmati Rice
Chickpeas simmered in a vibrant tomato-ginger sauce served over fluffy basmati rice with a creamy dollop of protein-rich yogurt.
INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup Chickpeas
0.5 cup Nonfat Greek yogurt
0.5 cup Cooked basmati rice
0.5 cup Tomato puree
1 tsp Olive oil
0.25 cup Yellow onion
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Fresh ginger
1 tsp Garam masala
0.5 tsp Turmeric powder
0.5 tsp Cumin seeds
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tbsp Fresh cilantro
PREPARATION
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the cumin seeds and toast until they begin to sizzle and release their aroma.
Add the finely diced yellow onion to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent, then stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger.
Sprinkle the garam masala, turmeric, sea salt, and black pepper over the aromatics, stirring constantly for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Pour in the tomato puree and chickpeas, stirring to coat the beans thoroughly in the spiced sauce.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for 10-12 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the chickpeas to absorb the fragrant flavors.
Fluff the pre-cooked basmati rice and portion it into a bowl, then ladle the chickpea masala over the top.
Finish the dish with the nonfat Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for a bright, cooling contrast.
