My husband’s family is from the UK, and they love a good curry, so I’m always experimenting with curry recipes to impress them. Chickpea curry with potatoes and peas is my latest creation, which had them asking for seconds and for the recipe!
It takes a number of spices to make this curry tasty, but if you don’t have them, you can substitute all the spices except for the cayenne with 5 teaspoons of curry powder, since curry is essentially a blend of spices.
