i have been making a kind of stew with chickpeas from a long time. its been a super hit. so... just soak chickpeas overnight in water. then put it in a crock pot or better pressure cooker. now add 1 tsp garlic paste,1 tsp ginger paste, 1onion chopped 2 tomatoes chopped, 2tsp cumin powder, 1 tsp turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder,cayenne pepper according to taste and chopped fresh cilantro,& 1 tbsp tomato paste.now add 2 1/2 cups of water and cook till done. its like a stew/ soup and i even add carrots and green onions for an added veggie twist. by the way according to ayurveda turmeric has great antiseptic properties and along with cumin its great for the digestive system. cinnamon and cayenne pepper boosts the metabolism.
