    This recipe is delicious. I added a few more spices to it such as cumin, tumeric, corriander, etc. I will be making this again very soon. - 3/18/08

    Very Good
    This is tasty! I recommend cooking everything together long enough to get rid of the "raw" taste in the tomatoes and to soften the chickpeas a little bit. - 4/13/07
