I was so excited to try this recipe and finally found the time to put it together this evening. Being new to the world of Indian food I thought this would be a good recipe to start off on as it had good reviews and the general sentiment was that it was easy to make. I have to give the recipe props for being easy (the hardest part was taking the time to peel, cut, and cook the potatoes.) However, in terms of taste, I thought it was horrible. I made the recipe just as called for and found it to taste like a odd combination of christmas cookies and a poor curry recipe. Talk about anything but appetizing! If I were to make suggestions, I would recommend leaving out the ginger. Not only was it overpowering, it made it incredibly spicy.. in the christmas cookie sort of way no less. Beyond that change I am not sure exactly what would help the situation. In my case I ended up rinsing the sauce off of the potato/chickpea mixture, adding milk, butter, salt and pepper to it, and mashing it to make a fiber fortified mashed potatoes of sort. At any rate, hopefully your experience with this one will be better than mine! Best of luck!
