      Title: Indian Butter Chickpeas
 Categories: Vegetables, Herbs, Chilies, Rice
      Yield: 5 servings
 
      4 tb Unsalted butter
      1 lg Onion; minced
  1 1/2 ts Kosher salt; more to taste
      4 cl Garlic; minced
      1 tb Grated fresh ginger
      2 ts Ground cumin
      2 ts Sweet paprika
      2 ts Garam masala
      1 sm Cinnamon stick
     28 oz Can whole peeled plum
           - tomatoes
     15 oz Can coconut milk
     30 oz (2 cans) chickpeas; drained
           Ground cayenne
           Cooked white rice; to serve
    1/2 c  Cilantro leaves & tender
           - stems; to serve
 
  Melt butter in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven
  over medium heat. Stir in onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt;
  cook until golden and browned around the edges, stirring
  occasionally, about 20 minutes. (Don’t be tempted to
  turn the heat up to medium-high; keeping the heat on
  medium ensures even browning without burning the
  butter.)
  
  Stir in garlic and ginger, and cook another 1 minute.
  Stir in cumin, paprika, garam masala and cinnamon stick,
  and cook another 30 seconds.
  
  Add tomatoes with their juices. Using a large spoon or
  flat spatula, break up and smash the tomatoes in the pot
  (or you can use a pair of kitchen shears to cut the
  tomatoes while they are still in the can). Stir in
  coconut milk and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to
  a simmer, and continue to cook for 10 minutes, stirring
  occasionally, and continuing to mash up the tomatoes if
  necessary to help them break down.
  
  Stir in chickpeas and a pinch of cayenne if you like.
  Bring the pot back up to a simmer and cook, stirring
  occasionally, for another 10 minutes. Taste and add more
  salt if necessary.
  
  Serve spooned over white rice, and topped with cilantro.

.... The power of marketing: tomatoes went from poison to aphrodisiac.
