I really wanted to try an east indian dish and I'm cleaning out the fridge so needed to use up chicken and chickpeas (garbonzo beans) and this recipe looked easy and yummy, which it was! Didn't make recipe exactly: -didn't have peppers or parsley to add -substituted pita for tortilla because that's all I had -boiled chickpeas for about 5-7 minutes first so they were mushy, just because I know that's how I like them -just added spices to taste because I can't judge heat by measurements But other than that, lol, I made just as instructed and it was so simple and delicious. This is definately a new favorite. I'm a little 'wrap-dyslexic' so I'm definately going to try it with pita next time. I only gave it four stars because I changed it so much.
