We are having crazy freezing weather this week, it seems tomorrow is going to be even more worse with -20 C. As long as I can sit at home and look through the frozen window, I enjoy this snowy weather. Today, I am enjoying even more as my Man took over the kitchen and made his specialty <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/thai-carrot-coconut-chicken\/\" target=\"_blank\">carrot chicken<\/a> for lunch. Basically, no work and all play for me. I love my man&#8217;s carrot chicken, he&#8217;s become an expert in making it and every time it tastes even more delicious.<\/p>\n<p>I hope everyone in the east coast is staying indoors and keeping warm.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the snow capped outdoors, it&#8217;s beautiful despite the cold.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16350\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/snow-capped-copy.jpg\" alt=\"snow capped copy\" width=\"475\" height=\"475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/snow-capped-copy.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/snow-capped-copy-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/snow-capped-copy-50x50.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Among the dried beans my most favorite is chick peas or garbanzo beans; it has a very delicate nutty and sweet flavor and can be eaten as it is when it is boiled. So many dishes can be made with chick peas: falafel, hummus, chana masala, soups, salads and a lot more. Or just roasting the chicken peas that are sprinkled with herbs and spices in the oven makes it a crunchy and crispy snack.<\/p>\n<p>Last weekend, I had made this chicken in chick peas gravy. I was planning to make chana masala and somehow it turned into this. I am so glad that I pureed half of the cooked chick peas and combined with the chicken and other spices. This is a very rich dish with thick chick peas gravy and you get to enjoy chicken as well.<\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\">\t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/chicken-in-chick-peas-gravy-.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Chicken in Chick Peas Gravy &#8211; Chicken in Garbanzo Beans Gravy<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">Curry<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cuisine: <span class=\"cuisine\">Indian<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Thasneen<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <time itemprop=\"prepTime\" datetime=\"PT5M\">5 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT25M\">25 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT30M\">30 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">5 People<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]For marinating chicken[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Chicken breasts, boneless cubed- 2 breasts<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Chili powder- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Ground cumin- 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Ground pepper- 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Salt- to taste<\/li>\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]For making gravy[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Oil- 2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Cumin seeds- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Onion, chopped- 1, large<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Ginger-Garlic paste- 1\/2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Tomatoes, chopped- 2<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Chick peas, cooked and canned- 1 large can or 2 cups<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Chili powder- 1\/2 to 1 tsp or as needed<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Coriander powder- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Salt- to taste<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Cilantro, chopped- 2 handfuls<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">In a bowl, combine the cubed chicken along with the above mentioned ingredients &#8220;for marinating chicken.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">In a wide pan, cook the chicken covered till it has cooked well and turns slightly golden brown in color.
