SO HOW'D IT GO?
I make this every couple of weeks. So good! Thanks for posting :)
I think this is a great start for a recipe, but it needs a bit more flavor in my opinion. I added about 4 more red potatoes than the recipe calls for and had about 3 cups of broccoli. I also added in about 4 diced carrots.
I sauteed the onions and, after they got golden I add 1 TB curry powder in with the oil and let it cook for about a minute (this brings out the flavor in the curry). After a minute, I added in about 2 TB curry paste (I use a tomato and cumin blend). Then I added the chickpeas at this point (and 4 diced carrots) and cooked for about 2 minutes. I added the potatoes and broccoli after. The secret to the flavor is adding cayenne pepper (to taste) and about 2 TB of yellow prepared mustard at the end. It sounds weird, but its delicious! I also added cayenne pepper sauce to mine because I love things spicy. I will definitely make this again with these adjustments.
Made this for the family last night, though with probably about double the brocolli and with two big-as-your-head potatoes.
It was nice, and fed everyone, and I definitely would make this again, but would have to get a bit more liberal/creative with the spices, as it wasn't the most interesting dinner out there. Still, no one was hungry, and I could whip it up in a few minutes after getting home late from work, so worth keeping in mind for those reasons alone :)
i've probably made this about 15-20 times. quick simple and yummy as all get out.
:D so good! i had some left-over tabouli (with no parsley) cold in the refrigerator and served this right over it.. so delicious! the lemon at the end gave it a tangy punch.i'm definitely making this again.
This recipe is awesome!! I used curry powder liberally and it came out spicy and tangy!! One for quickie, I think it will lend itself well for alternative components!! Thanks for the idea :)
This actually came out very good. I liked it, it was easy to make, and I had leftovers for lunch the following day.
