This one is really tasty! The original recipe also calls for whole wheat tortillas. We don't usually eat burritos properly, (We eat the filling with a fork and have a toasted tortilla on the side.) so I left them off (so they're not included in nutrition info).

Sometimes being hungry and having to figure out something from what you have on hand works out well. This isn't an authentic* Indian dish, but it does have an authentic Indian taste.

1. 1 medium onion, chopped
2. 1.5" x.75" piece of fresh ginger root, chopped
3. 4-6 large cloves of garlic, chopped
4. 2 tbs olive oil or canola oil
5. 1 tbs Shiba's Popping seeds
6. 2 cans diced tomatoes
7. 2 cans garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
8. 1 bag frozen Italian style mixed vegetables
9. 2 tbs Shiba's Curry spice**
10. ground red pepper to taste
11. salt as needed

Chop the onion, garlic and ginger. Heat a dutch oven or stew pot and add the oil. When the oil is hot add the popping seeds. Once they've popped (about 30 seconds - be careful not to burn them!), add the chopped vegetables and cook until tender and lightly browned.

Add tomatoes, garbanzo beans, mixed vegetables and curry and red pepper. Bring to a boil and then let simmer on low/medium-low for 20-30 minutes.

Serve with basmati rice, roti and lhassi.
Serves 8

*It is actually very close to an authentic recipe, but canned and frozen items are what's not authentic.
**I rarely measure my spices, so this is an estimate
