Chickpea curry

Becca sent me this recipe -- so yummy. Perfect for when you need to atone for an over indulgence. Very hearty and healthy.

Chickpea Curry

1 big or 2 small onions, chopped
oil for sauteing
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 T ginger, chopped
1t cinnamon
1 t cumin
1 t coriander
1/4 - 1/2 t cayenne (or more if you like it really spicy)
2 cans garbanzos, rinsed and drained
1 can (15oz) diced tomatoes
1 can light coconut milk
cilantro

Saute the onion until translucent, add garlic, ginger and spices. Saute a few minutes more. Add everything but the cilantro and simmer for ~30 minutes, more or less. If it gets too thick, add some water. You'll want it saucy. Add cilantro, serve over hot rice.
