Directions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion and garlic in hot oil until onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.

  2. Stir tomatoes with green chile peppers into the onion mixture, cook until the tomatoes darken in color, about 8 minutes, add ginger and cook until ginger is fragrant, about 2 minutes more.

  3. Stir chickpeas, black tea, lemon juice, salt, cumin, garam masala, and coriander into the tomato mixture, bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, loosely cover the skillet, and cook at a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the tea has nearly evaporated completely, 15 to 20 minutes. Garnish with parsley.

Recipe Note

A vegetarian Indian dish with a little kick! Easy and very flavorful, it's my favorite way to cook chickpeas! Serve over basmati rice.
