If you’ve never cooked with chickpeas before, it might sound a bit intimidating, but it’s really not difficult at all. Just soak them overnight and when you’re reading to start preparing the meal, boil them until they are tender but still chewy. Put them onto a skillet and saute them with ginger, turmeric, tomatoes, garlic powder, chili pepper, onions, black pepper, and curry powder. It’s a bit on the spicy side, but that’s exactly what you need in your life right now!
Pad Thai
Of all the dishes on this list, this is the one that you are probably most familiar with. You’ve eaten it at a restaurant, but you might be surprised to learn that it’s really easy to make at home! You just need to purchase pad Thai noodles from the nearest grocery store, decide which sauce you would prefer (fish sauce and sriracha sauce are the most common choices), and stir-fry with some shrimp, beef, chicken or tofu along with peanuts, scallions, bean sprouts, fresh garlic, and whatever else you think is a good idea!
