chana masala

2 T olive oil
1 medium onion
1 clove garlic
1 T curry
1 T tomato paste
1 can of chick peas
1/2 T lemon juice
1/2 t salt
black pepper
red pepper flakes

brown onions. reduce heat and add garlic, curry and tomato paste, stir and simmer a couple minutes. at this point,  add a 1/4 cup of water just to get everything mixed in well.
add the rest of the ingredients. simmer for 5 or so minutes and add chick peas. serve over rice.  chris and i love to make rice in our rice maker with a can of coconut milk and the rest water to add really subtle and sweet coconut flavor to the rice. yum!!

this recipe was a adapted from a recipe from a friend of a friend, thanks claudia.
