Ahem, ahem, my first attempt at chickpea curry. Isn't it awesome? I have discovered the wonders of chickpeas so as you can see on the left, its chickpea curry and on the right, chickpea with parsley salad.the left is cooked using chickpeas , black beans and butterbeans (sorry i agah agah so can't tell u the quantity), water, sliced onions and garlic which i fried first with cumin, coriander and other herbs and curry powder, then i simmered with water, again, guesswork, then dumped in the beans, with orange juice, my few days ago oven-roasted butternut squash and spinach.
yum. it has an awesome taste, just teh right consistency.
on the right is my chickpea butterbean salad with parsley, which i learnt from a housemate's jamie oliver's receipe book left lying around...
woohoo! i really had enough of chicken for a few months methinks, so i'lll have to find other means of obtaining protein.
and yes if the question is, have i been doing my readings, er no, but food is more important. methinks i am a fulltime housewife and part-time student.. grin
the reference to pickled tofu is the find i discovered at Chinatown (at last!) of chilli pickled tofu soaked in vinegar. yum yum! now i can have my porridge... whopeee!
