CHANA/GARBANZO PULAO

Chana/Garbanzo Pulao Recipe @ treatntrick.blogspot.com


Once in a while, I love to cook up a one pot meal that  does not need any elaborate side dishes yet was filling.

This Chana/Garbanzo Pulao is one of my favorite rice using garbanzo beans.  I had used  dried chickpeas  but if you are pressed for time just pick a can of garbanzo beans from your supermarket shelf.

Adding those spices make this dish  extra delicious with exotic flavor. Although one can find the recipe under the same name over the net but it varies from one household with another, so choose one that suits your palate.

CHANA/GARBANZO PULAO
Servings    :      2-3

1 cup basmati rice
1 cup cooked chana (garbanzo)
1 onion chopped
1 tomato chopped
1 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
2 garlic minced
1/2 tsp garam masala
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
2 cups water
salt to taste
2 tablespoon oil
cilantro for garnish

  9. This sounds really similar to something I do with couscous and we just had it for dinner tonight. We love garbanzo beans in my family. I can't get enough of them. I found your blog through the Made in a Day social.
