The curry was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices or herbs.

This curry is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.

I'm not usually a fan of chickpeas, but this curry changed my mind. The chickpeas were so soft and flavorful, and the curry sauce was creamy and delicious.

This quickpea curry was a hit with my family! The flavors were so well-balanced and the chickpeas were cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
