"So long as you have food in your mouth, you have solved all questions for the time being." -Franz Kafka
Chickpeas are one of my favorites and so is Indian food. This is another great example of where Mediterranean diet does not mean Mediterranean recipes. This is full of veggies, fruit (tomatoes), great quality oil, fermented dairy and best of all, legumes. Five points for improving your Med Diet Score (more when you consider less meat) and great food – a great combination!
It's best to purchase your Indian spices – garam masala, turmeric, curry powder and the like – at an Indian or Asian market. You can usually buy smaller amounts so that they are fresher when you get ready to use them - unless you plan to make a lot of Indian recipes (which you should).
