West Indian-Style Channa Wrap - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups onions, diced
5 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 chili pepper, seeded and diced
fresh ginger, peeled and minced
3 tablespoons curry powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon salt
2 (15 ounce) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed thoroughly
whole wheat tortilla
hot sauce
red onion, diced
cucumber, diced

Preparation

In a deep skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until slightly soft, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic, chili pepper and ginger, cook for about 2 minutes. Add the spices and salt, stir well. You'll end up with a paste.
Add chick peas, plus enough water to barely cover (at least 3 cups). Bring to a lively simmer, then lower heat and cook at a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally until most of the liquid evaporates, 50 to 60 minutes. You're looking for very soft chick peas with a thick gravy, not soup.
Tast for salt and season accordingly.
Place a few tablespoons of channa into warmed tortilla with any or all of the optional add-ons. The channa is also great over rice.
Keeps well in an airtight container in the fridge for at least 5 days.
NOTE: recipe wouldn't take 2 x 1 inch piece of ginger, or 8 tortillas, but those are the amounts.
