Chickpea Curry

Versión en español

Chickpea Curry is one of those recipes that you make with things you have on hand at the time, a pantry dinner. I needed to use a diced tomato can that I opened by mistake. I made a curry because I love Indian food. I always have chickpeas in the pantry to make hummus or add to salads. The cream, in the recipe, can be replaced by the Greek plain yogurt if desired. No pictures of the step by step as I never expected to publish this on the blog, but it’s so easy and it was so good, that I change my mind.

The heat in Houston had begun, every day 35 degrees C or more. I no longer turn on my oven unless it is almost an emergency, so these dishes made fast on the stove are lifesaving. Hope you like it.
