This recipe is a very good base. I think next time though, I'll add some tomatoes and potatoes. I love chickpeas, but it just seemed to lack something. Also, I like things spicy, so I'll probably increase the heat a bit. Thanks for sharing and thanks for reading!

Lovely, and made the kitchen smell delicious! Drained the liquid from the can by accident, then added 3/4 cup water with 1 tsp. cornstarch and chicken soup base in the last five minutes of cooking, for liquid and texture.

OMG, this was really spicy! I'm usually pretty tolerant of spicy food but this was a bit much, even when served over rice. Adding 1 can of diced tomatoes really improved this dish, adding more depth and texture to it. Next time I'll try to add more veggies. But overall, a very good base that can be easily built upon.

I just made this and it is THE best!!! SO much flavor and SO inexpensive to make. A great addition for any starving students who want something delicious and easy. I will DEFINITELY add this to my favorites. I loved the spices just as the recipe called for. If you're not sure for yourself, do smaller amounts and then add more according to your own taste. It's a keeper!

This was great! It is very spicy, I would recommend cutting back on the cayenne. I also don’t think I crushed the cinnamon well enough. We didn’t like the texture of the cinnamon pieces. I think next time I’ll just use ground cinnamon and ground cloves instead of whole. Since there are only two of us I made a ½ recipe but I wish I would have made the whole thing and frozen half for a quick meal down the road. I served it over rice and it was great. It would also be good with naan or pita. I also thought it would be great mixed with rice and served cold as a salad. We definitely loved this and will make it often. Update: I just tried this again with 1/8 tsp of each ground cinnamon & ground clove and now it's a 5 star!

so yummy! I added chopped green apples and a pear as well; the tartness and sweetness of the fruit brightens up the chickpeas. I also usually add about double the cinnamon and the curry. I second whoever reviewed who said the cilantro is a must. I add it just before I serve the curry, and the one time I didn't, a layer of flavour was definetely missing. This has become a staple recipe for me. Inexpensive and so tasty!

The first time I made this, I didn't have any ginger, onions, or cilantro on me and it still turned out EXCELLENT. The second time I made it I added onions and it was still very good, but I prefer it without the veggies. I also like to let the sauce thicken a lot by evaporation.

This is a great recipe for Chickpea curry allthough it is very spicy, I added some plain yoghurt to tone it down a tad. I also added some left over cold chicken to the dish. Served with Nan bread and brown rice. Plenty for the next day which I thought had a better flavour.

I just finished making this recipe and I thought it was delicious. It is quite spicy, however, (which I love) so if you don't like spice I wouldn't recommend this dish. I used 1 large onion (instead of 2), 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground cloves since I didn't have whole and I added 1 diced potato because I thought it was too liquidy when I added the chickpeas. I let it simmer for about 45 minutes. I ate it with naan bread. Will definitely make this again.

Great recipe! I subbed curry powder (Javin Brand...the best!) for the spices, skipped the ginger, and added fresh carrots and canned peas. A good vegetarian recipe that even my carnivorous fiance devoured over rice. Surprisingly, this was also good cold, as I brought it to school but didn't have a microwave to heat it up!

I think it took a day for the flavors to really blend. It was a tad bland after I first made it, but the leftovers were tastier. Thumbs up, though!

First time I've done anything Indian....never tasted so many flavors in one dish - number of different spices is the reason. We all loved it. Didn't change anything in the recipe other than not putting all the liquid from the chickpea can into the dish - just a couple of ounces. My 14yr old son even enjoyed it!

This was a pretty good recipe for chole/chana masala. Different than the kind in the restaurant, because it has much less fat, but still yummy! I didn't change much - added a can of diced tomatoes (for color and a little sweetness), and added 1/2 tps more of each spice to compensate for the additional volume of the tomatoes. I also added 1 tps of cinnamon and boiled the 2 cinnamon sticks whole. Fresh spices are a must! Will definitely make again.

Excellent vegetarian recipe that even my children enjoy. Friends have commented that it brought them back to their childhood and reminded them of "Mom's cooking". I decreased the amount of onions and added bell peppers, eggplant and zucchini. Also added a teaspoonful of Madras curry. Will definitely be making this again.

Made this and added part of a butternut squash and half a cauliflower head. Pretty good, next time I will add a little more cayenne or cumin- something spicy.
