This vegetable and chickpea curry is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's packed with flavor. The combination of spices, aromatics, and chickpeas creates a dish that is both satisfying and healthy.
I first came across this recipe when I was living in India. I was staying with a family in a small village, and the mother of the family made this dish for me one night. It was so delicious that I asked her for the recipe, and she was kind enough to share it with me. I've been making this dish ever since, and it's become a favorite of mine. It's a simple dish to make, but it's always a hit with my friends and family.
