Ready for another Chickpea recipe? I am. 🙂

These simple stuffed Poblanos. The peppers are stuffed with mashed chickpeas that are spiced with a bit of the tomato sauce and garam masala. The Sauce is a blender sauce. Blend, cook to thicken and use. 

Stuff them peppers. Bake, make the sauce. done. Serve with a light sprinkle of sweet paprika, cilantro and lemon juice. Add other spice blends, or top with cheese for variations. 

Some days I make like 3 things and mix up the recipes. This one was written up in the margin with the butternut soup. I am like, what are the chickpeas doing in butternut soup. 🙂 I think I am going to record voice memos of the recipes from now on. Too much confusion, missing pages and messy draft posts! 

Use any other peppers like Anaheim, green bell peppers or stuff some tomatoes 🙂 or Jalapenos if you are feeling adventurous.

  12. These were delicious; this is a keeper recipe and I definitely will make these again. My husband loved them and said he would try these with peas or the mashed potatoes. I bedded these on quinoa and used hot smoky paprika; these had a bit of a kick. Thank you Richa!

    This is so yummy. I’m going to take some the sauce and put it over pasta with fresh basil. This dish is just great.
