The endless options when it comes to chickpeas is amazing to me. It's a good thing I love them. (I used to judge a good salad bar by whether or not they had chickpeas.)
I wanted to make a chickpea curry for awhile, but with traveling and other events the tab just stayed open on my safari screen waiting for me to finally make it.
I got back from Cincinnati late Thursday and I'm leaving again Monday for over a week so that left me 3 days to eat at my place. What does that mean? No perishables. Or bought in very small quantities. And I was feeling bummed that I shouldn't cook anything. But then... I just halved the recipe and bam! cue a couple delicious meals. The perfect amount to finish in 3 days.
I dove in to this Chickpea Curry. I didn't have all the spices (add coriander to my list to buy), but I had the majority and it was delicious! I didn't find it extremely spicy, but it did have a kick (please remember I have a high threshold for spiciness).
This time I just followed the recipe and served it over rice. I think it would be really good with potatoes or carrots. I think I'll try that next time.
My place smelt amazing when this was cooked up!
I usually buy beans by the bag and cook them at home. They are much cheaper this way & I think they taste better too. I used the last of my chickpeas on this recipe so add that to the list too.
