LEMONY CHICKPEA STIR-FRY (VEGAN AND YUM)



Lemony Chickpea Stir-Fry (Vegan and Yum) image

I found this recipe a few days ago on one of my foodie blogs, made it almost immediately, and I now have a new favorite. I'll be making this many times over until I'm sick of it, if that can be possible. Many years ago I used to be a vegan and went carnivore, but if I had had this around, I might have stuck with it a little longer. I alter the recipe here and there, and have posted a few changes. The original recipe states that this is for 4, but I could just graze on this all day long.

INDIAN CHICKPEA STIR-FRY

As teenagers, Burmese boys are expected to fulfill a period of time serving as monks in the Buddhist monasteries. During this time they live as vegetarians. My husband taught me to make this Indian meal that his would mother prepare for him during his service. Chickpeas, okra, and potatoes are combined with delicious spices and make a very filling meal. Serve over jasmine rice.

This was a really happy accident it was a rescue attempt when another recipe went wrong and it was so delicious I had to post it so I could make it again. These are the basic ingredients but I was planning to add a handful of raisins next time I make this.
