Chana Masala in the Crockpot

Chickpea Masala

This is easy, lowfat, vegetarian and delicious.  I was worried that the chickpeas would be mushy, but they came out tender and firm.  So good!

Nouns:

3 cups dried chickpeas, picked over

1 can crushed tomatoes

3 tbsp garam masala

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp cardamom

1 tbsp curry powder

1-3 tsp chili garlic sauce

1 medium onion, diced

1 veggie boullion cube

1 tbsp honey

1 cup water

1 cup plain yogurt

2 cups rice, prepared

Verbs:

Soak the chickpeas overnight in in enough cold water to completely cover them.  Drain and add them to the crockpot.  Pour the tomatoes, spices, onion, water, honey, boullion and chili garlic sauce over them and stir to combine.  Cook on low for 8 hours.  Stir in the yogurt, if using. Serve over rice.
