Curried Chickpeas Masala Dosa

Today also we are going to see a another Main course entree with Chickpeas/Channa/Garbanzo beans. For this i made, Masala Dosa with curried chickpeas/chickpeas curry. I love dosa with stuffing a lot, i have posted a few variety of masala dosa recipes. Click Here for the recipes. This curried chickpeas recipe was slightly adapted from Thaifood.about.com. For this masala dosa i added few finely chopped onions,cilantro n drops of lemon juice. It tasted so yummy with refreshing flavors. I have tried a similar one with my Tomato Masala Dosa. This curried chickpeas masala dosa is very nutritious and filling...No need for special sidedish but it tasted yummy with Onion Tomato Cilantro Chutney n Sambar. First time i made this recipe with chutney n sambar but on that i couldn't able to click neatly, so again next day i made this curry but with store bought dosa batter...and also didn't get time to make chutney n sambar...on that day i was in hurry n also kids were at home...lots of confusion, so totally forgot to take Curried Chickpeas separately n clicked some closeup shots with dosa alone. If kids are at home, then i can't do any of my work properly...two naughtly boys will be troubling me lot. okk will move onto the recipe...

 Notes:
I used dry chickpeas, so soaked it overnight, then pressure cooked before use.
In the step wise pic, i added few finely chopped carrots along with tomatoes but i forgot to add it on second time, so in the final pic carrots missing...you can also add carrots n other vegs to make it even more healthy n tasty.
With the above mentioned quantity you can make around 7 curried chickpeas masala dosa.
Adding lemony cilantro- onion is optional but it gives nice flavor n taste to the dosa.
You can even have this curried chicpeas with chapathi, n enjoy it as chapathi rolls!
