From: [email protected] This recipe is from INDIAN LIGHT COOKING, which I've told you about before. It is our *Fave* dal recipe so far. Quick & Easy to fix, too!
Remove 1 c. chickpeas (including the liquid) from 1 can of chickpeas. Drain. Coarsely chop. In a food processor or blender, process the remaining chickpeas and the liquid to a puree. Set aside.
Heat a nonstick saucepan over moderate heat. Add the cumin seeds and stir until they crackle, about 10 seconds. Add onion, ginger & garlic. Stir until onion is translucent. Add turmeric, coriander and red pepper. Cook, stirring, for about 20 seconds, being careful not to burn. Add tomato sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer 1 minute. Add chopped & pureed chickpeas. Cook, stirring, 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to blend. Add salt to taste.* Remove from heat. Add lime juice and stir. YUM!
Serve with rice, whole wheat bread, and a yogurt salad (raitta). "For a special treat, try Piquant Lime Rice."
*we watch our sodium, so instead of using salt we doubled the lime juice. This would make a great party dip with pita triangles, if it were pureed a bit more completely.

Very good
Nothing beats the satisfaction of sitting down to one you've made yourself - far better than just opening a can. This recipe looks good and is different to the one I've been using which has just about every vegetable known to man-kind in it and an extravagent amount of coconut! I was in my local asian shop tonight to pick up some black dahl to make dahl makhani but that might need to wait now!
thanks! Is there a recipe for the tomato sauce?Gettingthinnerbytheday

I actually remembered to buy some of this tonight. Going to have it for dinner Thursday with brown rice, a super easy dinner for my hubby to prepare while I'm at collage! I am looking forward to it already
