What's on the Menu - Chick Pea Curry with yellow rice.

It's been quite awhile since "Silver Mamma Chef" opened her kitchen after her customers left to relocate to the West Coast, leaving her feeling a bit desolate, and some what depressed; hence the lack of interest in cooking much after that.
So!..... before the dark cloud becomes to gloomy, she decided to turn her glumness into a bit of sunshine and start cooking again with all tools on board.

To day on the Menu is "Chic Pea Curry and Yellow Rice" with freshly baked bread rolls.

Silver Mamma Chef has never cooked chick peas before, ever, I mean never, so all apologies to those experts out there.
She soaked dried chick peas in water over night then cooked them in the slow cooker for three hours until they were soft.

Oh yummy my friend, I would have looooved this, it sounds really yum, demonstrated by that empty plate at the end! Great post @artywink !
It's been mayhem here at Lily's Cottage since Thursday but we're happy as it seems like the busyness / business is coming back with a bang!

The slow cooker is one of my favourite ways to cook. Love the taste of the food.

Mine too @leelektrik it makes the meat so nice and tender, also keeps the flavour in. Thanks for passing by, have a great day.
