Chicken And Chickpea Curry
I have always cooked chicken curry with other vegetables but never thought of using chickpeas. My elder son is into healthy eating and tends to eat chickpeas quite often. As I had a lot chickpeas in my pantry, I decided one day to try using them and was never disappointed with the result. Having enjoyed it so much a couple of times, I decided to saw you people also how I do it so that you too can try it out and hopefully, the way I and my family members do.
