Here's a great recipe adapted from _Sundays at Moosewood
Restaurant_.  Nice and tangy, goes well with rice or couscous.

TAMARIND CHICK PEAS

Ingredients:

	1 med onion, chopped
	3 cloves garlic, minced
	2 small chiles, coarsly chopped
	1/2 cup water
	1 T tamarind concentrate
	1/2 cup hot water
	1 med tomato, chopped (or two Romas)
	1 inch piece of ginger, grated
	2 cups canned or cooked chick peas (garbanzos)

Saute onion, garlic, and chiles in a saucepan using 1/2 cup water
until onions begin to carmelize (about 10 minutes), adding more water
if necessary to keep from burning.

Mix the tamarind concentrate in 1/2 cup hot water.  Combine the onion
mixture, tamarind, tomato, and ginger. Puree.  Return puree to pan,
add chick peas and simmer for half an hour until sauce is thick.

Serves 3-4
