Ingredients

1 1/2 cups Dried chick peas

1 medium Onion, diced

3 tablespoons Peanut oil

1 tablespoon Lemon juice

2 teaspoons Dried parsley

2 teaspoons Dried mint

1/2 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon Ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon Garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon Turmeric

1/4 teaspoon Ground cumin seed

Preparation

1

Soak the chick peas overnight in lots of water. Then bring to a boil, and simmer for 2 to 3 hours.

2

Mix the onions and spices together in a small bowl. Using a non-stick pan, then fry in the oil until the onions are brown (5 to 10 minutes).

3

Thoroughly mix the fried onion, cooked chick peas, lemon juice, parsley, and mint in a medium size bowl.

4

On medium-high heat, fry everything until the chick peas start to soften (about 10 minutes). Cover, and set the heat on very low for 15 to 20 minutes.
