Recipe - Baby Garbanzo Dip

1 One half cup Chana dal
One half Onion; chopped
2 Cloves garlic
2 Plum tomatoes; (fresh or
whole canned)
3 tablespoon Lemon juice
2 teaspoon Ground cumin
One half teaspoon Paprika
One fourth teaspoon Cayenne; (or to taste)

This recipe uses chana dal aka bengal gram dal aka baby garbanzos. The
seasoning is based on Gabe Mirkin's hummus recipe. This was a little too
much work, but the dip is good.

Soak chana dal in water overnight. Drain dal and boil in new water for
about an hour till soft. Strain the dal. Puree all ingredients in a
blender. Serve with pita bread or chopped veggies.
