Ingredients

1 1/2 cups Dried chick peas
1 medium Onion, diced
3 tablespoons Peanut oil
1 tablespoon Lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dried parsley
2 teaspoons Dried mint
1/2 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon Ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon Garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon Turmeric
1/4 teaspoon Ground cumin seed

Preparation

1
Soak the chick peas overnight in lots of water. Then bring to a boil, and simmer for 2 to 3 hours.
2
Mix the onions and spices together in a small bowl. Using a non-stick pan, then fry in the oil until the onions are brown (5 to 10 minutes).
3
Thoroughly mix the fried onion, cooked chick peas, lemon juice, parsley, and mint in a medium size bowl.
4
On medium-high heat, fry everything until the chick peas start to soften (about 10 minutes). Cover, and set the heat on very low for 15 to 20 minutes.
