Chickpea recipes are one of my favourite dishes. Easy to cook and tasty to eat. My earlier chickpea recipes are

• Chickpea-Sweet Corn Chat
• Chickpea Sundal
• Chickpea Tomato Curry

Today I tried a Special Rice recipe with chickpeas along with thick Sev. Lets call it as chickpea fried rice 🙂 I just tried this recipe with left over Sev and Wow! it turned out a tasty recipe. Let me share it with you.

Ingredients:

• Chickpeas – 1/2 cup ( boiled and dried)
• Ripen chillies – 5 (chopped)
• Onion – 1 (diced)
• Thick Sev – 1/4 cup
• Salt to taste
• Lemon juice – 4 tbsp
• Cooked Rice – 2 cups
• Cumin powder – 1/2 tbsp
• Red chilli powder – 1 tbsp
• Butter/Ghee – 3 tbsp

How to Prepare Chick pea-Sev Rice:

1. Heat ghee in a pan, add chillies, onion pieces and fry them until they turn into golden brown colour.
2. Add chickpeas and roast them for few seconds.
3. Add red chilli powder, cumin powder to it and sauté it for 5 minutes on simmer.
4. Transfer the cooked rice to it and stir fry for 10 minutes.
5. Add thick sev to it and mix well.
6. Finally sprinkle some salt and lemon juice to it and mix well.
7. Serve the rice when it is hot as it is or with any vegetable side dish curry.

Notes:

• You can avoid adding red chilli powder if you don’t the recipe tastes hot.
