Sorry Ladies I wasn't ignoring you I just forgot to reply :d'oh: Here are the recipes:
Cholay (indian chickpea curry)
Ingredients:
Frylight
2 cans chickpeas drained & rinsed (I use Natco)
200g chopped tomato (blended)
1 medium onion chopped
whole cumin seeds (1/2 teaspoon)
coarsly ground dried corriander seeds (1 teaspoon)
turmeric powder (1/2 teaspoon)
chilli powder (to taste)
salt to taste
Method:
Fry Onion in frylight over a medium heat until slightly brown add cumin seeds, dried corriander, turmeric, salt, chilli powder & tomato and cook until the onion has cooked (5-7 mins). Add the chickpeas & 250ml water & cook on a medium heat until the chickpeas are tender. You can decorate with fresh corriander if you like.
Cumin rice:
* I measure rice in mugs but use your own measurements keeping the ratio of 1:2 rice to water respectively *
Ingredients:
1 mug Rice (soaked in warm water for 20 mins)
2 mugs water plus 150mls
salt to taste
1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
Tiny stick of cinamon
2 cloves
1/4 onion choped into thin slices
Frylight
Method:
Fry the onions in frylight until golden add cumin seeds and continue to fry until the cumin seeds begin to toast. Add cinamon stick & cloves and toast for a further 30 seconds add 150ml water (should turn brown when added to the onions - this will bring the flavours of the spices out & make your rice fragrant) and cook onion for further 2 mins. Add the drained rice & 2 mugs of water& salt & bring to the boil, reduce heat & cook until the water has absorbed & rice is cooked.
Ps I take NO responsibility if you poison your families due to misreading the recipes...ENJOY!
