Answer 1

I have tried many ways of eating chick peas, mostly the dried from, but sometimes frozen chick peas.  

I find that they are quite good on their own.  However, I tend to blend them up and can add anything available in the kitchen at the time.  Sometimes it is curry powder, mayonnaise, garlic, chillis, of course I might add some lemon or sesame seed paste.

Chick pea curry is an indian delicacy.  

The chick peas is popular in my diet, due to its levels of zinc, magnesium, and fibre.  It also tastes good, is low in fat and low in sugars.  

I tend to eat about 100g in one go, which is quite a lot.

Ingredients

2 cans (15 oz. each) chickpeas

1 cup chopped onions

4 or 5 small garlic cloves

1/2 cup of water with squeeze of fresh lemon juice

1/4 tsp. ground turmeric (or ground ginger)

2 1/2 tsp. ground cilantro

1/2 tsp. ground cumin

1 cup of flour. Add 1 tblspn to dry mix of spices. Save remaining flour for dredging patties

Salt and black pepper to taste

Olive oil for frying

Directions:

In blender place chickpeas with liquid, onions, garlic and water. Put in blender and make a coarse blend so texture remains. In large bowl mix all dry ingredients together. Add batter to dry mixture and stir to make batter. Spoon chickpea batter into your hands, roll into a ball, then flatten patties to make small ‘one or two bites’ sized servings. Dredge very lightly in flour with salt and pepper (to taste) added. Heat oil over medium high heat. Place patties in oil and sauté until lightly golden on each side. Drain on paper towel. Serve warm

Hints:

*Chickpeas are wonderful chilled and eaten plain. Keep a can in the fridge and when you want a snack, just open and drain.

*Chickpeas are also called garbanzo beans.

*Serve patties topped minted yogurt. Add one tablespoon to one 8 oz. cup of plain yogurt, stir and serve.
