If you are a Costco member then you know black rice...the Chinese Forbidden Black Rice. I love the black rice and when you cook the regular white rice with the black rice the whole dish gets a purple color. I am assuming the black rice are actually really really dark purple colored rice.
I was looking for recipes with Chicken and Chickpeas together but I did not find any. So I made my own and yum yum yum, the family just gobbled it up.
Chicken with Chick Peas (Chicken with Garbanzo beans and Indian Spices)
Ingredients
In a pressure cookie heat the oil and add the chopped onions and fry till they start becoming brown. Add ginger garlic paste an fry for a minute until the raw smell goes away. Add the chicken and fry for 5 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water and cook for 2-3 whistles. After the steam escapes, open the cooker and add the garbanzo beans and stir to combine. Simmer for 5 minutes and garnish with cilantro and serve with Purple or pulao
