  1. I love the simplicity of this recipe- I seem to make it when I don't feel like going to the store because I already have everything on hand. I have not been adding the salt, the coriander and other spices add enough flavor that it isn't necessary. Tasty and filling!
     
  2. A versatile and outstandingly yummy recipe! I used very little oil, just enough to 'pop' the mustard seeds, and since there was no fresh tomato I used about 2/3 cup of salsa. Who could have guessed THAT would taste good?! I also had to omit the sesame seeds for lack of them, and reduced the salt but was generous with curry powder. At the end I let some baby spinach wilt in the pan, squeezed on a bit of lemon juice, and ate it with sweet potato. I'll be sure to make this one again, so thanks for posting!
     
  3. Sooo freakin' good! I've been meaning to review this recipe for a while, especially since I now keep a ready stock of chickpeas so I can make this whenever I get a craving. I made a few substitutions/additions based on earlier reviews that I love and now use every time. I add half a (juicy) lemon's juice toward the end of cooking(lime works well too), let it evaporate a little bit and then add some chopped up fresh cilantro. I also add at least another chopped tomato at the end and stir it in just long enough to get warm. So yummy and perfect for the summer!
     
  4. Very good. I made a few changes since I didn't have mustard seed. I picked out what I could but ended up using garam masala in its place. I added more than a tsp of curry powder and will next time add way less salt. I added a pinch of mustard powder, about a half cup of thawed kale and about 1/3 cup of chopped fresh cilantro. That added the umph I needed. Thanks for sharing.
     
  5. Really quick and easy to make, great when you don't have much time or ingredients! I didn't use sesame seeds and had to use tinned tomato instead but it didn't cause any problems. I think next time I'll add more curry powder as the 1 teaspoon didn't seem quite enough, but that's just me!
