Sweet Savory Chick Pea Curry image

This is an unusual twist on the classic curry dish, which has a sweet kick to it with fennel undertones. The raisins and carrots add a rich color and delightful taste that will satiate your palate. This dish comes from my mother in law, Shirley in South Africa where many African dishes have an Indian influence because they descended in the 19th century as indentured workers transported to work on the sugar plantations of Natal. The result is a fusion Indo-African dish, which is best served over basmati rice.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my curry turned out bland. I think I might have added too much water.

The curry was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll definitely make it again, but I'll use less chili pepper next time.

I'm not usually a fan of chickpeas, but this curry changed my mind! The curry sauce was so rich and flavorful, and the chickpeas added a nice texture and protein boost.

This chickpea curry was a delightful blend of flavors! The combination of sweet and savory spices created a complex and satisfying dish. The chickpeas were perfectly cooked and soaked up the curry sauce beautifully.
