Directions
Curried Chickpeas Slow Cooker Version 4.0,In 7 years at one job, I spent over $3000 Cdn on take out Channa Masala (curried chick peas). I was surfing the net one day and came across a recipe that seemed easy enough. I took out my girlfriend’s slow cooker, and fired up the recipe (from Dev Patel of Slumdog Millionaire). Nice, but I think it had too much liquid and required corn starch to thicken it up at the end of the cooking process. Version 2.0 used less liquid (vegetable broth), and was still to liquidy, but did not require corn starch. Version 3.0 used no additional liquid, and was *almost* there. Version 4.0 (this recipe) is, for me, nirvana and comes close to cloning the taste of my favourite Indian restaurant (A taste of India in Winnipeg). Future test versions might include a broken up cinnamon stick, some star anise and ground fennel seed. This recipe scales up or down very well, and is flexible for adaptation. [October 25/09: As has been pointed out, the type of curry paste used is very important. use Patak’s Madras Hot Curry Paste. I am aiming for a Bombay/Pakistan type of curry; not a Thai style curry. Sorry bout leaving out this information. Additionally, the sodium content is much lower than what recipezaar calculates, as the choick peas are *thoroughly* rinsed],This turned out delicious. used Patak’s Hot Curry Paste and added a about 1/2 tsp of Garam Masala. It is 90 miles to the nearest Indian resaurant, so it’s hard to compare it with authentic cuisine made by experienced chefs, but this satisfied our craving wonderfully.,I thought this was great! used powdered garam marsala (1 tbs) instead of the curry paste since I already had it on hand. Maybe the other reviewer used Thai curry paste instead of the Indian curry since they mentioned that it came in red, yellow, and green.
