This curry recipe is a very easy and cheap dish to make, but the flavor is terrific, so you don’t feel like you’re missing out on the expensive ingredients. You can serve it hot or cold, plain or over rice or over pasta, with chutneys or by itself, etc… It’s pretty versatile. The only part of it that is time consuming is cooking the chickpeas- but I like soaking and cooking a few pounds at a time and freezing them in smaller portions to defrost for use in specific recipes. You can use canned chickpeas for this as well, it’s just more expensive and less healthy.
