Chickpeas curryÂ
Chickpeas has always been my favourite, especially the one my mom makes with puri (deep fried little rotis). We used to have it for breakfast on Sundays usually, can still remember the taste of it. 😊
I made this very simple and easy chickpeas curry, with coconut milk, even my little boy like it a lot. For him I made it milder with the chilli powder and I added more for myself.
A quick fix curry, if you are craving for something Indian then this is ready in less than thirty mins. Serve with some warm basmati rice to a delicious Indian vegetarian meal.
This recipe is quite simple and requires very few ingredients, you can have it with plain basmati rice, cumin rice (jeera rice) or even rotis or chapathis.
