Chana Pulao (Chickpea Pilaf)

Chana Pulao (rice pilaf with chickpeas). Recipe is from The Turmeric Trail by Raghavan Iyer . 

You can't see the chickpeas, as I put them through a Cuisinart first, before mixing them into the pulao. (I have to cuisinart all legumes like that, for health reasons.) 

The recipe made more than enough to freeze a good amount for later. Delicious, especially with a sauce or chutney (or just salsa), and some potato chips to add crunch.
