    I scaled the recipe to half of the original, used jarred grated ginger & minced garlic, added about 125ml of chicken broth to sauce up the recipe a little more and soften up some leftover roasted potatoes I added as the curry was simmering away on the stove.

    I added a tin of Napolina chopped tomatoes that I briefly blended with my hand blender. It provided a lovely additional flavour that complemented the chick peas and the spices perfectly, reminding me of some Moroccan dishes that I've tried.

    So...Not sure what I did with this recipe! I think adding the tinned tomatos would have been a great tweek if I'd seen that before making this recipe. It turned out really dry and maybe a little hot too. Definately follow the tomato tweek and this will be a good recipe I'm sure.

    Loved it. Made a bit of a boo boo while scaling down the ingredients and accidentally put in twice as much spice as I should have, but while very hot, was very nice. I'll be making it again. =]
