Ingredients
Method
In a bowl, mix the yoghurt with curry powder, turmeric, salt, and ground coriander. Set aside.
For the curry, heat the butter/ghee in a large pan, add the cumin seeds, and let them sizzle for a few seconds.
Add the cloves, garam masalad and chopped green chilies. Stir and cook for a few seconds.
Remove from the heat, add the spiced yoghurt mixture, and stir continuously for a few seconds.
Return to low heat and cook for 2 minutes
Add the drained chickpeas and cook for another 8-10 minutes
Serve straight away with steamed rice or flatbreads
Optional: top with fresh coriander before serving
Notes
Introducing my latest obsession: Spiced Chickpea Yoghurt, the kind of comforting curry that fills your kitchen with the most irresistible aromas while demanding minimal effort (win-win!).
Think humble chickpeas, elevated with a warm hug of cumin, garam masala, and fresh green chilies, all cozied up in a creamy yogurt base. If you want to put a bit more effort into it then add in sautéed onions and garlic to the base.
Either way, you’ve got yourself a dish that’s perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner or an impressive spread for your next dinner party. Enjoy it with steamed rice, warm naan, or honestly, just a spoon. Trust me, this one’s a keeper.
PS. Make this just before serving, do not make it ahead of time or you lose the velvety texture of the yoghurt.
