Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cups bulgur
One 15- to 16-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
3 medium tomatoes, diced
2 teaspoons good-quality curry powder, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
2 to 3 scallions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro, plus more for topping if desired
1 tablespoon nonhydrogenated margarine
One 8-to 9-ounce jar sweet and spicy chutney (such as mango)
Salt to taste
