Indian Chickpea Stir-Fry image

As teenagers, Burmese boys are expected to fulfill a period of time serving as monks in the Buddhist monasteries. During this time they live as vegetarians. My husband taught me to make this Indian meal that his would mother prepare for him during his service. Chickpeas, okra, and potatoes are combined with delicious spices and make a very filling meal. Serve over jasmine rice.

This stir-fry was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time. Otherwise, it was a good dish.

Not too bad! I thought the sauce was a bit too salty, but I liked the overall flavor of the dish. I'll probably make it again and adjust the amount of salt next time.

This recipe is a joke. The instructions are unclear and the ingredient list is incomplete. I ended up wasting my time and money. ?

This recipe was a disaster! The chickpeas were undercooked and the sauce was way too spicy. I ended up throwing the whole thing out. ?

Not bad! I thought the sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall it was a good dish. I'll probably make it again and adjust the amount of sugar next time.

Meh. It was okay. I found the recipe to be a bit bland and the chickpeas were a bit tough. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
