The origins of chickpea curry are uncertain, but the dish is thought to have originated in the Indian subcontinent.

Advice

When making chickpea curry, it's important to use good quality ingredients. Start by sautéing onions until they are lightly browned and adding garlic, ginger, and spices. To bring out the flavors of the spices, fry them in a little oil for a few minutes before adding the chickpeas. Once the chickpeas are added, simmer the curry over medium heat. Be sure to season with salt and pepper to taste. Finally, to give the curry a creamy texture, add a splash of coconut milk or heavy cream before serving.
