Editors Review

Indians abroad crave for their mother’s chickpea curry. Watch this video and learn how to make this classic Punjabi curry in a few minutes using canned garbanzo beans. This recipe comes pretty close to the one made by simmering the curry for hours. Infact if you have some vegetarian friends over and want to impress them with Indian food, this curry is something that you must make. Serve it with rice, roti or with poori. Keep the leftovers refrigerated, it tastes very good next day.
