Day 213

Channa Masala with Homegrown Organic Zucchini

I couldn't resist cooking up something with my very first homegrown Zucchini!

Ingredients
1 Large can Organic Chickpeas "Channa"
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 large red onion, chopped
1 Tbsp. coconut oil
2 tsp. Cumin
1 tsp. chili powder
1 heaping Tbsp. West Indian curry powder
1 tsp. Garam Masala
1 tsp salt to taste
2 Tbsp Tomato paste
1 Large "homegrown" Zucchini- sliced
2 tsp. Agave
3/4 cup water
1 tsp. organic corn starch if necessary

Heat oil and saute red onion and zucchini for 3-4 minutes, add spices and garlic and cook for another minute of so.
Add channa and water and tomato paste and cook for 10-15 minutes until veggies are soft. Add agave and test for salt and pepper and adjust as necessary. If necessary thicken with cornstarch, if too runny.
Serve warm with Roti bread or Quinoa
