This is a delicious combination of flavors. It can be served as a side dish or makes a wonderful vegetarian meal served with rice. The recipe is adapted from "1000 Recipes Indian, Chinese, Thai and Asia". The recipe suggests chilling before serving but I served this hot with seasoned rice and cinnamon spiced carrots.

I didn't have any chickpeas, so I used black beans instead. It turned out great!

This recipe was way too spicy for me. I had to add some yogurt to cool it down.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chickpeas were still undercooked. I had to cook them for an extra 30 minutes.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.
