    I tried this last night and I love it!
    Only thing, I'm going to either omit the salt or put less, found it a bit too salty, but that's a matter of personal preference!
    All in all, a great recipe! - 8/25/09

    I cooked this for myself since my wife is less of an Indian/curry person. I will be fixing this a lot. I may add other ingredients, mushrooms and green peppers but I won't change the original spices etc. they are perfect! Thanks for sharing a great, and healthy, recipe.

    So good! I doubled the recipe, used only 1 T of olive oil , added 1.5 cups frozen turnip greens to boost the nutrition. Reserved the liquid from one can of chickpeas, used a can of no salt added diced tomatoes. Cut down on amount of water added, used 1/2 t kosher salt, 2 T tomato paste. Yum! - 10/19/09

    The only thing I did different was that I blended it up well. I used 2 C of it in my soup as a thickner and it was VERY GOOD! - 6/5/09

    It smells AMAZING, and the recipe is definitely a keeper. However, the powdered ginger gives a very slight bitter aftertaste. [UPDATE: Made again with fresh ginger, more cinnamon and no oregano and it turned out FABULOUS. It was hard to eat just one serving.] - 4/7/13

    I normally make a potato curry using chickpeas and coconut milk but this recipe is a lot quicker to make. The taste is an acquired taste; I don't know if i will make it again. Served it over brown rice. - 3/24/13

    Wonderful recipe for those nights I don't feel like cooking much. I will probably not have all 5 tsps of curry powder be the hot stuff next time, maybe a 3/2 split with some mild stuff. But really, a great blend of spices and flavors. Thanks! - 3/5/13

    This is my second time making this wonderful dish. This time around I added a couple more garlic cloves for a tad bit more heat. I added this to my favorites, simply because it is! - 8/8/12

    If you use dried chickpeas instead of canned ones, you may want to add extra salt. - 8/7/12

    This is one of my favorite vegetarian recipes. I made it twice, and the first time I had to add some brown sugar to it, but the second time I made it, it was perfect. We eat it over brown rice, and everyone but my younger sister loves it (she doesn't like anything without meat). - 6/5/12
