Read An Excerpt from My Indian Table

I have taken some of my favorite ingredients and created a delicious one bowl meal for convenience, flavor and easy clean up. The golden hue of turmeric and aromatics turn each bite into a flavor and textural explosion. The addition of garbanzo beans to this recipe provides a nice protein and fiber upgrade.

This recipe came about one warm summer day when I had just gotten home from work and wanted to relax in our backyard with my family. I pulled together a few ingredients that I thought may play well together and cooked this in a wok in our backyard stove while sipping on some wine. This dish is in honor of my husband who loves simple one-bowl meals.
