Coconut-Ginger Chickpeas & Tomatoes image

This is my go-to quick dish. When you add tomatoes, you can also toss in some chopped green peppers (jalapenos, if you like heat) to make it even more colorful. -Mala Udayamurthy, San Jose, California

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really dry. I think I may have overcooked the chickpeas.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less ginger.
