Tagrib

This is a Iraqi recipe eaten by the poor people in Iraq since it is so simple, but the taste is kingly.

If you don't like the idea of bread than just serve with basmati

ingredients

- 1 whole chicken cut in pieces without skin ask your butcher to do that part. OR you can use Lamb
-1 onion chopped finely
-black pepper
-45tbs of fresh chopped coriander
-2tbs curry powder
-5 medium size potatoes cut in 4
-1 can of chickpeas
- 1 can of chopped tomatoes
-3tbs of tomato puree
-5 cloves of garlic crushed
-1 cube of chicken stock maggi
- add salt to taste

fry the chicken pieces in some oil or deep fry and set aside.

fry the onion and garlic add the water of the chickpeas and put in all the spices, also now add the maggi stock, chopped tomatoes and 2 litre water wait until it boils and than add the tomato puree.

add the potatoes, chickpeas and chicken, let it boil until the potatoes are done.

serve over the cut up bread or rice

p.s you can replace the chicken for lamb or chicken breast and you can add some veggies such as carrot, sweet pepper, green beans ect.... or you can even add some sweet potato or pumpkin.
the iraqi ppl put in whatever they have left inside their house so......be creative and add what you like.
