Traditionally chickpea curry would be called chana masala. I don’t use a traditional spice mix for mine so I just call it chickpea curry. I use my favourite pakaks paste and add some cream to give it a richer flavour. It definitely isn’t traditional but is very tasty.
I like to serve this as a side dish along with spinach and potato curry or chicken curry and rice or naan.
