how to tweak this recipe, Member mrbabyguy

This is a good start toward a yummy veggie curry. I would enrich it and bring out the flavor by adding a can of lite coconut milk and a teaspoonful or two of sugar (or any sweetener). The suggested amount of curry powder seems very small, try doubling or tripling it. For a wondrously aromatic touch, try crushing some saffron and throwing it in. Or a teaspoonful of garam masala. As an alternative to the chickpeas, try adding 1/2 to 1/3 cup of urad dal, either white or black, if you can find it. (This will help thicken the dish and add protein.) Add additional salt to taste. There should be at least two cups of liquid to ensure the dal cooks properly. This would be good with some panch phoran sizzled in ghee and drizzled on top, and some mango pickle for extra heat and salty-savoriness.
