    I made this recipe around Jan 8, 2016. A couple things should be changed.
    1. WAY too much lettuce in comparison to other ingredients.
    2. Use vegetable stock instead of water. The recipe as is has very little flavor and is bland.
    3. Definitely add potatoes/cauliflower, or some other veggies. - 1/12/16

    Interesting that this was bland - with 3 large cloves of Garlic, the Onions and 3/4 tsp of Coriander there should have been a fair amount of flavor? Vegetable stock is a good idea. Note we mention bagged lettuce up to 6 cups give or take. The Chickpeas give it a buttery flavor in our experience.
