I did not like this at all. I put half the amount of cayenne pepper in and it was just right for the hot part. But somehow, the it tasted bland. My spices are fresh and I love curries. This is not worth the effort. I will try to fix this dish as i feel bad to throw it out...

I compared this side to side with the other highly rated chickpea curry (the one with potatoes) from this site and this is SOOOO much better.

Delicious! I drained the chickpeas before I read the entire recipe. I added chicken broth for liquid and then a little cream at the end to get more gravy. It was flavorful, easy to make and my Indian family members loved it. I served it with rice and Trader Joe's Garlic Naan.

I made this recipe with just two servings, added a diced potato, and a dash of curry powder. I also didn't use the can juice and instead I used 1/2c of vegetable stock. This was sooo amazing! I wanted to eat the other servings, but when my dad saw what I was cooking he stole the rest! I'm definitely making this again later this week.

Didn't measure up to my fav indian restaurant but it was pretty good. Be careful how much cilantro you use! Yikes, that's a lot! and YES, this is SPICY. I like spicy though.

I love this recipe :-) However, I do have my own spin on it. I use the same spice ratio but use only one can of chickpeas. Then I add one sweet potato, one or two carrots (depending on the size), and a can of crushed tomatoes. I cut up the root veggies into bit-size pieces. I also add the starchy liquid from the chickpeas to thicken it up. I serve the dish over couscous. We love this dish and eat it about once a week. It's full of good veggies, nutrients, and very little fat.

Good curry that satisfies my cravings for Indian food. However, when I make it it seems like the beans don't seem to absorb enough of the flavors.

This recipe was ok, I give it 3.5 stars as is (with no modifications). I will make it again though. Next time I will use fresh ginger instead of the powder ginger... I think this is key.... something was missing though, I don't know what it was... the chickpeas were way too dry and I had to add water.... also the cayenne pepper is REALLY HOT and SPICY!, next time I'll add way less than what the recipe calls for... My chickpeas were soooo hot that I added some coconut milk to make it more mild... I also added some sugar, perhaps 2 tablespoons... At the end of the day my recipe was totally different than what I intended to do. It turned out pretty good though!

I'd give this a 4.5, really. It was very good, even my hubby ate it, and he's most definitely NOT into beans of any sort. I served it over Jasmine rice, since that's what I had on hand. (Basmati rice would be more authentic). I did have to change the spices, since I didn't have all of them. So, I skipped the seasonings from the ginger on down, and used about 2 Tbs. of Rogan Josh seasoning from Penzey's Spices. (check them out!!) It's a blend of paprika, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, black pepper, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and saffron. It was a very authentic Indian taste, and a nice bite to it. (not something I could give my kids, unfortunately) I'm sure, looking at the ingredient list, that it was pretty close to what the original recipe would taste like.

Fantastic! Cheap, healthy, quick, and delicious. The only thing I would change is add a little bit less of the cayenne. My face is still sweating.

This is coming from a person who makes curried chickpeas in a lot of ways and has been eating since childhood. Try lime juice to add tartness to this and yes, please add some more spices.

We made this after making 'Spinach Chick Pea Curry' also on this site. I recommend this recipe instead!! The cinnamon in this is overpowering, this tasted more like cookies than curry. Also, this recipe is doubled from what to me would be a normal size. My boyfriend made sure that I would give this rating the lowest possible. We will never make it again!

This recipe was pretty good but I would give it 5 stars had it been a little saucier and more reminiscent of the Indian chickpea curries I love. I did follow the directions except used non canned beans so for the liquid I added a little veggie broth. I used ground ginger and cinnamon instead. Next time I might try same spices but add tomatoes and potatoes to it.

The dish was so-so, but not very fun and not worth the effort. Lacked complexity in flavor, which is odd considering the number of spices. We added spinach and a chopped tomato but it didn't help much. Other modifications included: using a cup of water instead of the bean liquid and not adding salt until the table.

This had the potential to be really good. I followed the recipe, except for adding a little bit of heavy cream and served it over jasmine rice. The end result was just WAY too spicy. I would make it again, but next time I think 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper would be more than enough. I couldn't even finish a small serving and my mouth is still burning.

This is delicious! I made half the recipe because I didn’t think my kids would like it. After eating their food, they devoured what was left of this dish. My daughter asked me to make it again tomorrow. I ate this with a salad and it made a filling meal. This will become a regular in our home.

Thank you for this recipe! Very quick and perfect for introducing someone to curry (as I did last night)! Added quite a bit more spice and thinly sliced carrots, celery, mushrooms, and green pepper, though. Brown rice works very well!
