Indian Dish

-this dish smells as delicious as it tastes

Heat 1-2 TB of Canola oil in a pan
Add 1 tsp of whole cumin seed
            1 tsp whole mustard seeds and heat until they are toasted and smell aromatic.

Add 1-2 cloves of minced garlic and cook until toasted

Add 1-2 small onions, finely chopped and cook until translucent
Add 1-2 tsp curry powder- we like more curry (3-4 tsp) so it would be more spicy.
            a dash of salt and a couple dashes of fresh ground pepper
Stir for a bit until onions are coated with curry

Add 1 14oz can of drained garbanzo beans for every adult you are serving and stir until coated with curry onion mixture.

Add 1 diced roma tomato per person and stir so they are coated with curry mixture then take a 10 oz package of chopped spinach and add to mixture.  (if frozen I microwave spinach first so it’s not frozen when placed in mixture.)

Stir until everything is heated through and stop before spinach loses its bright green color.

Serve with rice and top with 1-2 TB plain non-fat yogurt if desired.  My kids love it served with hummus and Naan-flat bread
