Today's lunch:

Lunch I hadn't made this curry in AGES. See, M doesn't like it much. But since I switched to WW Core, I've been making things that I like and he doesn't for my lunches. (Which means I'm eating a LOT of curry for lunch. Not complaining, not even a little bit.)

The basics go like this:
Take about a cup and a half of onion, a bunch of garlic, some fresh ginger, and desired quantities of cumin, coriander, and mustard and blend/process all that into a paste.*
Chop up one tomato into smallish pieces.
Saute the onion stuff in appropriate amounts of oil until it thickens up.  Add the tomato, cook for about 5 minutes.  Add 2 cans of drained & rinsed chickpeas, some tumeric, cinnamon, salt, and water** and cook for about 10 minutes.

I serve it over couscous, but it would be good with rice or any other grain, really.

*Our food processor needs a new blade and the blender doesn't do well with type of stuff.  I blended until about half of it was a paste and left the rest rough-chopped.  I think I like it better with some chunks of onion & garlic anyway.
**I had put some water in to facilitate the blender-chopping so I didn't add any in the cooking.
