I didn´t have all the proper ingredients to make this (getting Indian spices in Poland can be a challenge) and it was still delicious!! I have since gotten all the spices I need and can´t wait to make it again.. plus, it was so easy! :)

I was always intimidated by Indian cuisine (making it not eating it) because of all the unfamiliar spices, but this recipe is a great one to start with - simple with really good results. I didn't follow the recipe exactly though. I added some cubed potatoes between the onion and spice stage. I doubled all the spices except for the cayenne pepper and cinnamon. I accidentally drained the chickpeas liquid away so I used the equivalent amount of chicken broth, which was a nice addition. Finally, I added fresh tomatoes at the end. We enjoyed it with plain (Greek) yogurt and nan. I will definitely make this again.

I subbed carrots for 1/2 the potatoes, used crushed tomatoes and coconut milk (as suggested by other reviewers) instead of soup. I had half a bag of peas in the freezer and threw them in... finally, I doubled the spices! YUM! Everyone loved it. Best curry at our house yet.

This is so delicious and EASY! I like it with chickpeas or with petite green peas. It's a good meal to make when we're tired of meat. I always reduce the amount of cayenne pepper to taste.

This dish was good. Even better on the second day as leftovers. I think I will cut back on the cayenne pepper next time. I like spicy but it was a little too much for me! Would taste good with potatoes!

I made this last night for my fiance and a friend. They both thought it was too hot but I liked it.

Spicy and full of flavor. Used ground cinnimon and skipped the cloves for the best result.

This recipe was great. I added a can of tomatoes and some indian eggplant and let it simmer for about 40min. Indian cuisine is the only food where I don't miss the meat. Fantastic!!

I love this! First curry I ever made, and it tasted just like my local indian place. I just added some walnuts for crunch, but otherwise wouldn't change anything. Gets better overnight. :)

This was my first experience with Indian food and I am not impressed. More than likely it is my unexperienced palate, but this was very spicy to me. I found myself picking out the bits of cinnamon sticks. Maybe this cuisine just isn't for me.

Tried to crush the cinammon sticks and ended up having to pick them all out while eating...would not crush them rather cook them whole and pull them out at the end. This was very good though! I enjoyed the spice! Will definately make again and maybe add some chicken or broccoli.

I love chickpeas and I have tried making chickpea curry using various recipes. This one is the best so far. I added lesser cayenne pepper than the recipe called for. So, the curry tasted a little sweet (from the cinnamon). I will add the full amount next time. I also added a fresh plum tomato which added to the flavor. I am going to try making the curry by adding cauliflower to it next time.

I LOVED this recipe!!! It really had the curry flavour I've been looking for. Even my toddler ate it up (but I mixed yogurt with his to lessen the spice). I did add potatoes and tomatoes as others suggested and garam masala for more spice and it was a hit.

Loved this recipe, and can't believe some people find it bland. It is definitely hot and there is quite a strong ginger and cinnamon taste, so cut back on these if you don't like these flavors. We just cooked it as is and thought it was great.

Where's the flavor? Neither I nor my husband cared for this at all. I offered to try and make it better next time, but he said not to even bother.

I never follow recipes exactly... just taste them a lot and keep adding things until it tastes good! To this recipe I added: - 1/2 can coconut milk - doubled the cumin - 1 teaspoon Splenda (some mango chutney is nice for sweetness too!) - 3 teaspoons lemon juice - a few extra cloves... 10 total. - 3 heaping teaspoons tomato paste - 1 teaspoon Garam Masala I DID use the Cayenne this time, but I think I'll substitute crushed red chillies next time... still get the heat, but more flavour... might need more than a teaspoon though!

It was good, but didn't have an outstanding flavour. I rinsed and drained my garbanzo beans (always!), and added a can of diced tomatoes. I will try this recipe again though, but tinker with the spicing.
