Notes
Can you serve this apricot chickpea curry hot or cold?
You can serve this curry dish hot or cold. If you want the dish to be hot when serving, combine all the ingredients in the skillet over medium low heat (vs. just cooking the onions and curry powder) there. Wait to add the cilantro till right before serving so it doesn’t wilt.
What to do if the chickpea curry is too spicy
If you find that the curry powder you used is too spicy, you can double the chickpeas in the recipe and add one of the “make it creamy” options to help balance out some of the heat.
Storage:
