• porții: 2 servings
• timp total: 25 minutes

Ingrediente

One 15.5-ounce (439g) can chickpeas, drained and liquid reserved

1/2 teaspoon baking soda (only if canned chickpeas ingredients include a firming agent like calcium chloride)

1 tablespoon (15g) unsalted butter

1/2 teaspoon grated fresh peeled ginger (or ginger paste from 1 frozen ginger cube; see notes)

1/2 teaspoon finely minced or grated garlic (or garlic paste from 1 frozen garlic cube; see notes)

1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper or red chile flakes

1/2 teaspoon ground coriander seed

1/2 teaspoon garam masala

1 tablespoon (15g) tomato paste

1 large plum tomato (4 ounces; 113g), cored and diced (about 1/4 cup diced)

1 teaspoon granulated sugar

2 tablespoons heavy cream

Kosher or sea salt

Instrucțiuni

In a small saucepan, cover chickpeas with water, add the baking soda, bring to a boil, then cook until very tender, about 6 minutes. Drain and proceed with the recipe.

In a small skillet, melt butter over medium heat; as butter is melting, add ginger and garlic. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned, about 1 minute.

Stir in turmeric, cayenne or chile flakes, and ground coriander and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly toasted and fragrant, about 30 seconds; do not allow spices to scorch.

Stir in drained chickpeas and tomato paste and cook until warmed through. Meanwhile, measure 1/2 cup of reserved chickpea liquid (if necessary, add water to total 1/2 cup).

Add the 1/2 cup chickpea liquid, diced tomatoes, sugar, heavy cream, and garam masala, then season with salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until tomatoes break down and liquid thickens to a spoon-coating consistency, 3 to 5 minutes; reduce heat, if necessary, to prevent scorching. Remove from heat, season with more salt, if needed, then serve.
