Just love this combination to skip some meat here and there, the chick peas are a good source of protein to replace the meat and the vegetables go very well with the Garam Masala spice mix

  12. 12

    After another 2 minutes you can add the ginger matchsticks, keep stirring everything and also add the garlic and chili now

  13. 13

    After a about 3-4 minutes lower heat a little more, the vegetables should be half done by now but still remain crispy

  18. 18

    Wash the fresh coriander, cut it fine and put on table for garnish

Love to cook for my Hungarian girlfriend and me! I have been cooking around since 1998 and like to make simple tasty foods, nothing fancy really. I mainly cook with regular fresh ingredients available anywhere based on one or more recipes I found throughout the years. Will try to post one recipe a week here
