I made this meal last night and found it to be very flavorful, and healthy. I served it over white rice. It's a version of a recipe found in Moosewood Cookbook.
TAMARIND CHICK PEAS
Ingredients:
1 med onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 small chiles, coarsly chopped
1/2 cup water
1 T tamarind concentrate
1/2 cup hot water
1 med tomato, chopped (or two Romas)
1 inch piece of ginger, grated
2 cups canned or cooked chick peas (garbanzos)
Saute onion, garlic, and chiles in a saucepan using 1/2 cup water
until onions begin to carmelize (about 10 minutes), adding more water
if necessary to keep from burning.
Mix the tamarind concentrate in 1/2 cup hot water. Combine the onion
mixture, tamarind, tomato, and ginger. Puree. Return puree to pan,
add chick peas and simmer for half an hour until sauce is thick.
Serves 3-4
