Recipe needed for (dare I say it) a chick-pea based curry.I have discovered that I have two packets of dried chick-peas in the store cupboard.Does anyone have a recipe for a curry using them? Perhaps also using red lentils. Have spent the very wet afternoon cleaning kitchen cupboards,why is there always OOD stuff lurking

I quite often make a potato and chickpea curry, but I make it up. I usually fry some pureed onions, garlic and fresh ginger, then fry that and some fresh chillis. Then I add two tins of chopped tomatoes, a tin of coconut milk, then add a tin of chickpeas and some cubed potatoes. Then it simmers until the potatoes are cooked and the sauce is reduced. Oh, and I add garam masala, a couple of cardamon pods, coriander seeds, cumin seeds and a bay leaf. I don't have any measurements because I just chuck everything in and hope for the best. But it always turns out really well

I think that tahir deleted it for using Patak's curry paste.

Do you make your own tomato puree or use the stuff out of a tube Tahir? | ||||

I don't use puree but this is one I did at my mum's once with puree out of a tube, used the same base for prawns before too. |

I just ate lunch, and yet I'm DROOLING over here!  Sounds terrific, and so quick I could make it for myself for lunch (and not have to deal with pesky flavor-averse children ).

Re: Quick chickpea curry
Just did this with the addition of winter squash. Very nice indeed and I am now so stuffed I can barely waddle! |
