Chole

* 1 large red onion
* 2 tomatillos
* 4 or 5 roma tomatoes (optionally with the pulp discarded)
* 1 tablespoons chopped ginger root (or more, to taste)
* 2 tablespoons canola oil (or vegetable oil)

* 1 tablespoon garam masala
* 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder, or to taste
* Salt, to taste (probably quite a bit)
* 2 (15-ounce) cans chick peas or garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
* juice of one smallish lime
* a dash of balsamic vinegar (to taste)
* cooked rice, preferably long-grain white rice (whether plain,
basmati rice, jasmine rice, or even a mild pilaf)

In a blender or food processor, puree the onions, tomatoes, tomatillos,
and ginger root. You can even do it with a Braun hand "mixer", if you
chop things finer to start with, and work at it.

In a saucepan set over moderate heat, warm the oil until hot.

Add the puree and the balsamic vinegar, and cook, stirring occasionally,
for 20 to 40 minutes. (Cooking it longer will make it sweeter.)

Add the Garam Masala, chili powder, and cook, stirring occasionally, for
5 minutes.

Add the salt and chick peas and cook, stirring, until heated through.

Stir in the lime juice, and optionally one or two teaspoons of tahini.
You can let it simmer longer, depending on how much softer you want the
garbanzos to get.

Serve over rice, like a curry.

Yields 5 to 7 servings.
