Few tips from India Use boiled chickpea .don't use soaked chickpeas ,u can use it but boiled taste better And to make gravy thicker don't add anything just smash some chickpeas which are already in the pan it will make it thicker 👍👍👍👍
Since I found your channel, all my curries have Tamari, a bunch of greens and A LOT os lime or lemon juice. I promise these 3 simple ingredients take any curry to the next level!
wow. i love all three of these ideas. i have never tried to make a scramble out of chickpeas. thanks, steve. wishing health and happiness to you and your family. 💗
I love hummus ❤ I love hummus ❤ I love hummus ❤ (but not the store bought kind). Wonderful video - thank you! What can't the humble chickpea do? From curries, to hummus, to roasted little nuggets of yumminess, to scrambles, to falafel, to soca, and to my newest fave: chickpea blondie dessert bars!!! 😊
Love chickpeas and I always buy a tray of 12 tins at a time from my local Asian store so I always have them in my cupboard. They are so versatile. Must try and make my own hummus. I tried it once and it wasn't great so never tried again.
I am no cook, but I've made your chickpea scramble and chickpea hummus many times. Everyone loves both! The hummus is even better when you incorporate roasted beetroot and a little EVOO.
i don't typically use oil in my humus, although i do love oil. instead i use the juice AND ZEST of one whole lemon for each can of chickpeas! i also add white pepper. it's delicious, you totally would have hired me 😄
If you want to cut back on the oil, along with the tahini, you can add aquafaba (chickpea liquid from the can) when whipped gives the creaminess to the hummus, just an option 🙂
I’m a slow cook so at the cost of being fast or perfect I like to prepare ahead. So usually I like to reorder a recipe. Here’s the first one. Also doubles as a shopping list. Prepare and set aside - half tsp ground black pepper - one stick cinnamon - one and one half tbsp ground garam masala - one tbsp cumin seeds - one finely sliced red bell pepper - one finely diced white onion - a half thumb sized knob of grated ginger - 2 finely diced cloves of garlic - 1 finely minced red chili pepper (handle with care) - 1 tbsp tamari - juice of half a lemon - 1 bag or around 3 handfuls of baby spinach - 1 can of chopped tomatoes - 2 cans of chickpeas - just under 2 cups vegetable stock - a bit of gram flour (can be substituted) Heat a large skillet on high heat and coat with oil. Add the onion and ginger and cook until browned. Add cumin seeds and garlic along with bell pepper and other spices and wait a minute till adding vegetable stock, chickpeas, tomato and tamari then add in the chili pepper and spinach and take off heat while stirring in small amounts of flour until sauce is slightly thicker. Add lemon juice.
Hey, miss having you around! Love these simple chickpea recipes! Your channel is truly inspirational to me! I appreciate the effort that goes into these, especially as a RU-vidr myself, so keep up the great work. I wish you both a happy & prosperous New Year for 2022. James
NEED HELP GOING VEGAN? (Upvote to help others find this): Eat a variety of these categories of plant foods: Aim for whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables. Eat processed foods like mocked meats, vegan cheese etc if you like, but remember that health is important. There is an abundance of dairy like alternatives like soy milk, hemp milk, oat milk, rice milk etc and alternatives for cream, yoghurt etc that you can use for cooking. Soy milk is the alternative that has the most protein. Make sure to get in enough calories. Fruits and veggies are calorically dilute. Whole grains and legumes have moderate amounts of calories. Nuts and seeds have a lot of calories. Find a balance that works for you. Supplement with vitamin B12. If you find a supplement with a high dose of B12 it is sufficient to take it once a week. If you live in places devoid of sun, consider a vitamin D supplement during winter. For omega 3 eat a tbsp of ground flax seeds along with ground chia seeds and/or walnuts everyday and consider taking an algae based supplement of EPA/DHA. In the beginning it may seem that there is a lot of planning surrounding vegan food. Don't worry, this becomes second nature and easier as times goes by. I personally spend less time with food now than before I became vegan. Now - 6 years later - I don't even think that much about food. I just enjoy eating ethically and healthfully. A tip for inspiration on cooking is to write down plant foods that you like, and then do a Google search for recipes containing the foods you've written down. Try out new recipes as you go, some will taste great, some not so much. Keep the good ones, discard the rest. In the beginning, don't be too hard on yourself. Don't let perfection be the enemy of good. It is important to aim at keeping this up longterm, so overwhelming yourself isn't as good of a strategy as being kind and compassionate towards yourself. Online there is a lot of help and support avaiable. All the help you need is available here: challenge22.com/ Social support is very important to be able to stick to it. Reach out to a close friend and ask if they want to try vegan with you, or if you know someone who is already vegan, go out for a lunch and ask for pointers. Or reach out online to find a vegan online community. No need to do this by yourself. There is lots of support if you just look for it. And the social aspect is one of the most common reasons why people fall off the wagon. Don't worry about health, and don't listen to myths and misinformation. The biggest nutrition organisation in the world supports a fully vegan diet as part of a healthy lifestyle: "It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that appropriately planned vegetarian, including vegan, diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits for the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. These diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, adolescence, older adulthood, and for athletes. Plant-based diets are more environmentally sustainable than diets rich in animal products because they use fewer natural resources and are associated with much less environmental damage. Vegetarians and vegans are at reduced risk of certain health conditions, including ischemic heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, certain types of cancer, and obesity." Source: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27886704/ By eating a vegan diet you also reduce your negative impact on the environment, by reducing land use, water use, eutrophication, and GHG emissions. These are facts and stats from the most comprehensive study ever conducted on our food production: file:///C:/Users/46708/Desktop/V/180228%20CCLS%20Presentation.pdf And the WHO has declared factory farming practices as the biggest threat for new pandemics. www.mspca.org/animal_protection/factory-farming-pandemic/ By eating vegan you aren't fuelling this problem by perpetuating the existance of these industry practices. So by eating vegan you live more ethically, you reduce your environmental footprint, you help reduce the risk for future pandemics, and if you eat whole foods vegan diet you increase your chances of living a long and healthy life. Let's create a less violent and more compassionate future together!! Good luck, and much love to you!!
I made a similar thing to the first recipe, the other day, just winging it. i did not have the spinach, but added a spoonful brown sugar. The 2nd is interesting. I do a cold version but that hot version looks good, and i wonder why i haven't tried that. I learned hummus from my friend from Israel, which has tons of garlic. I love it that way.
Wow, this looks Yum. where is your brother? You guys taught me how to master hummus. For that I thank you. I don’t have to pay for 499 for a tub of Hummus that’s only 8 ounces.
I found rinsing them thoroughly makes a difference! And overcooking them a bit. Otherwise I just bear the effect they have, hoping the good outweighs the gas...😄
add the super tasty liquid that comes with the can of chickpeas to the mix. it adds tons of flavor and protein to the dish. why do you hrow that away and rinse your peas of all their flavor!! In France the chefs buy that for adding to their sauces
Has anyone found that canned chickpeas taste and smell different from chickpeas cooked from scratch? Canned have a more neutral smell and taste while cooked from dried chickpeas urea type of smell and I wonder if there's a way around that. That occurs from any of the dried chickpeas from any and all vendors. Thank you
