Anyone got a recipe for nice chick pea curry?

Still fighting
Hi
I've been wanting to try chick pea's for ages but never got up the courage - wondered if anyone's got a tried and tested recipe for curry with them? ;)

Thanks

I haven't ... but mmmm love chick pea's :) and I'm fussy :) They're good in Chilli. Oh actually the "I'm being good" meal I get from the Indian has them in the sauce and they go really well.

Helpful aren't I? lol
 
Cheers Rach will take a look!

Twiggy whats the "i'm being good meal" from your indian i'm intrigued!! ha ha
 
hehe it's Meat Koftas (meatballs!) in a chickpea and tomato spicy sauce - is gorgeous ... and not the creamy kind of curry I normally go for. And because the sauce has chick peas in it, i don't have it with rice ... so it's me being good lol
 
This is a lovely recipe for Chickpea Curry and I have made it a few times.

chickpeas go really well with mushrooms - I have that all the time if I have a curry - mushroom and channa bhuna - totally gorgeous.
