Curry Chickpeas and Potatoes

This recipe is from our member Silvia, who used to do the master Smart Electrical Networks and Systems.
"This is a hearty, warm, and flavorful meal. It is a great student meal because the cost is low, and it is guaranteed that you will be satisfied. It stores well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, making it appropriate for meal prep. It is a special meal for me because it reminds me of my first days in Eindhoven, I learned to make it by then."

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium onion minced

  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • 2 medium tomatoes chopped
  • 2 small yellow potatoes chopped into small chunks

Instructions
 

  • Boil water for the rice (add the rice once the water is boiling, but for now you can continue to the next step)

  • In a medium nonstick pot over medium-high heat, sauté the onion,
    garlic, milk, curry powder, cayenne pepper, turmeric, black pepper,

    reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring

    another 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft. Uncover and cook
