Spiciness Solved:

MUCHI curry has pepper in it. MADRAS curry does not. - 2/17/13

Nice. Some suggestions:
-VERY spicy (mouth is still burning 15 minutes later). Cut the cayenne in half or less.
-Beans get overcooked. Instead, add the chickpeas and milk with the beans.
-Double milk for more of a sauce
-Don't drain chickpeas - add liquid in place of water - 2/2/13

This was very flavorful and perfect with couscous! I didn't have soy milk so substituted skim milk. I might omit or use less of the cinnamon next time, but overall this was a winner -- I'll be making it again! - 5/31/09
