I've made this twice now. We liked it so much the first time, I actually made it tonight for Christmas dinner! We added potatoes and baby corns and they went well with the other veggies. We also used canned tomatoes, and it was fine. Very delicious recipe, and very easy the 2nd time around! :)

This turned out a lot better than I expected. I was worried about the use of the cornflour to thicken it and curry powder instead of using the individual spices but they were OK (I used the lesser amount of each). You wouldn't miss the cornflour if it wasn't there, I think, as the rice absorbs all the sauce nicely. I cheated slightly and cooked the cauliflower with the onion and used peas instead of green beans. I added the (frozen) peas 5 minutes before the end. I wasn't sure what kind of chili sauce was intended, so I put in a few dashes of Tabasco sauce, which smelled weird, but tasted fine. The combination of cauliflower with chickpeas is a good one and I'll make it again, but will play with the spices next time. Thanks for posting it Larix.
