For the next few days I'm on an elimination diet(Doctor's orders). That means I can't eat virtually anything. Somehow this dish is alright for me to eat. Wow! I can't believe how great it tastes. I've never had a chickpea dish with flavors this rich -- and without any fatty coconut milk. My substitutions: I used a lot (roughly 2T) of garam masala instead of the spices listed here since it's a comparable blend and dried cranberries for half of the raisins (didn't seem to make much a difference). -- yum! Next time I might double the sweet potato or even add butternut squash. So tasty and fragrant -- My boyfriend said it smells like Christmas in here.
This was a delicious healthy and easy recipe. It takes awhile to simmer but the prep work isn't intensive. The yams pears and raisins add a nice sweetness-- but it's not overly sweet. It packs quite a punch though so if you don't like it spicy cut down on the cayenne. I used a 32oz. container of vegetable broth from the store instead of the boullion and forgot to include the cilantro but it turned out lovely. The dish was great paired with naan bread. Definitely a keeper!
This was super tasty! Even my meat-eating family enjoyed it. I made coconut rice to go with it which balanced the flavors very nicely. I used chicken broth instead of the veggie bullion and used 1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon instead of the sticks. I also added some cubed potatoes and summer squash. The flavor was mild but still very tasty. I think next time I will add more cayenne.
Excellent recipe-I doubled the pears and yams substituted 1 teaspoon cinnamon for the cinnamon sticks and reduced the cayenne to 1/2 a teaspoon. Not overly sweet-just wonderful and do not double or you will be able to feed the whole neighborhood.Makes plenty as written.
Excellent recipe. I took about a cup of the mixture and put it in the blender to thicken the dish. Otherwise followed the recipe exactly.
OH MY! This is AMAZING! I followed the recipe exactly and have made this many times with great success! Everyone asks for the recipe. PERFECT! Thanks so much!
This was an excellent vegetarian curry! I a great blend of sweet/spicy/savory. Just watch out for the cayenne pepper it was almost TOO spicy for my dad. Without any dairy or meat I was amazed at how good it tasted! Definitely going to be a keeper.
So flavorful but just a tad too spicy with that much cayenne... and my family likes things spicy. Still it's a 5-star recipe. And it feels good eating something so healthy that even the kids will gobble up.
This was fine but I was underwhelmed compared to all the glowing reviews. Not sure if I will make it again.
