Directions
Indian Chickpea Ragout With Vegetables,A very healthy and fresh tasting ragout by way of Julie Sahni. Delicious with some naan or pita on the side. If you can find Greek yogurt, all the better. And if you are watching calories, non-fat yogurt is just fine.,Very nice. I also halved the fennel seed and upped the cumin, for my taste preferences. used a 400 gm tin of diced tomatoes and no water. I really like the yogurt too, it is just how I like raita to be. Thick not runny. Yum! Could add more vegetables if you like, we used a couple asparagus that needed using up. Thanks,Having read the previous reviewers comment about the heat, I started off with 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes and adjusted at the point where the chickpeas and tomatoes (fresh and paste), eventually adding the whole amount. For me, it was not the heat but the amount of fennel that needed some tweaking. The fennel flavor was so strong, I could barely taste the cumin or vegetable flavors. The addition of the raita like topping tamed that flavor a bit but I wanted the ragout to stand more in balance on it’s own. I really enjoyed the combination of vegetables included, but found the cooking times were a bit off. By the time the sauce developed a bit, the zucchini and peppers were a tad bit mushy. Next time, and there will be one, I will cut the cooking time in Step 4 to just 2 minutes and add the 3 minutes to Step 5. This last thing is really very minor and did not stop any of us from enjoying the meal.
