🍳 Recipe Information
Curry Tomatoes and Chickpeas With Cucumber Yogurt
Much like the combination of chana masala and raita, this dish’s appeal lies in the contrasts: soft and warm chickpeas and tomatoes rest atop a layer of cool and crunchy cucumber yogurt. The cooking happens quickly; sauté small tomatoes and chickpeas just until softened and fragrant with spices, then pile the mixture onto a swirl of yogurt that’s zesty with chopped cucumbers, garlic, lemon and herbs. The yogurt will loosen under the topping’s warmth and weight, so serve with rice, focaccia or flatbread such as roti or doubles to sop up the lushness.
Ingredients:
- 1½ cups full-fat Greek or Indian yogurt
- 3 Persian or mini seedless cucumbers, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup basil or mint leaves, finely chopped, plus more for serving
- 1 garlic clove, finely grated
- 1 lemon
- Salt and black pepper
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained, rinsed and shaken dry
- 1½ teaspoons curry powder (see Tip)
- 3 tablespoons raw (or roasted and salted pistachios), coarsely chopped (optional)
- Rice, focaccia or flatbread such as roti or doubles, for serving
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, stir together the yogurt, cucumbers, basil, garlic and zest of half the lemon. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until Step 3. Cut the lemon into wedges for serving.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium until shimmering. Add the tomatoes and cook, shaking occasionally, until browned in spots and starting to burst, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chickpeas and curry powder and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and most of the tomatoes have burst, 2 to 4 minutes. Turn off the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- On a platter or in a wide shallow bowl, spread the yogurt into an even layer. Top with the tomatoes and chickpeas, followed by more basil leaves and the pistachios, if using. Serve with the lemon wedges for squeezing over. Serve right away, with rice or a flatbread.

After arranging the cooked chickpeas and tomatoes on the cold cucumber/yogurt mixture, top it off with the “salad.” Extra EXTRA bonus flavor blast? Sprinkle a handful of pomegranate seeds and squeeze a lemon wedge on the final dish. Truly gorgeous colors and nuanced flavor profile.",

Since chickpeas are kinda squashable, it wouldn’t do well to towel them off, and it probably would be overkill to lay them out on a towel to dry. Just get the rinsing water mostly gone.",

"description": "Much like the combination of chana masala and raita, this dish’s appeal lies in the contrasts: soft and warm chickpeas and tomatoes rest atop a layer of cool and crunchy cucumber yogurt. The cooking happens quickly; sauté small tomatoes and chickpeas just until softened and fragrant with spices, then pile the mixture onto a swirl of yogurt that’s zesty with chopped cucumbers, garlic, lemon and herbs. The yogurt will loosen under the topping’s warmth and weight, so serve with rice, focaccia or flatbread such as roti or doubles to sop up the lushness.",
