This recipe was inspired by a trip I took to India a few years ago. I was traveling with a friend who is vegan, and we were looking for a quick and easy meal to make in our hotel room. We found a recipe for millet and chickpea curry online, and we decided to give it a try. The curry was so delicious that we ended up making it several times during our trip. I've since adapted the recipe to make it my own, and I'm happy to share it with you today.
