30 Reviews of Curried Chickpeas and Black Beans-Low Fat

We loved this! I could just say "ditto" to Yogi's review because I, too, put garlic and cayenne in everything, and I forced myself to at least taste this before doing so. It was perfect just as it was. While I stuck very close to the recipe, I did do a couple things differently. First, I substituted baby butter beans for the chickpeas, just because my DH doesn't like chickpeas too well. Secondly - I made this in a crock pot! I skipped the oil and did not saute the onion or ginger, I just dumped everything but the parsley and lemon juice in, turned it on LOW, and went to work. When I got home 9 hours later, a wonderful aroma greeted me when I opened the door, followed by my husband who whispered, "I snuck some beans...And they are really good!" I put some Jasmine rice on the stove and stirred the lemon juice and parsley (along with a few extra scallions) into the beans, and we were ready. I was afraid it would get too soupy in the CP, but I guess the long cooking time for the beans thickened and balanced out any extra liquid that might've been released. Some time when I am just cooking for me, I will make it will the chickpeas (I love them), and I also think this would work out great for a potluck or buffet, especially in the crockpot. Thank you so much for such an easy and enjoyable recipe!

DELICIOUS! This is so similar to a chickpea curry that I already make, minus the black beans, and with an addition of garlic. I increased the amount of curry powder to our tastes and I had to use fresh tomatoes as I didnt have any canned available! The lemon juice is essential! Such a quick and delicious dish! Thanks becky! We loved it!

A quick and easy dish that's oh so yummy. I served it with coconut and mango chutney as condiments.

Very tasty! I have been looking for bean/veggie dishes for my DASH diet and this one is a great one. I did add some carrots. Next time I will remember the lemon juice.

This was fabulous and so easy to make. I used all dried or bottled ingredients and it turned out wonderful. I also added cayenne pepper to give it a kick. Delicious!

Delicious! Quick and easy. What more could a person want? I did use a spicy curry powder with chile, so the finished meal had a little heat, and I used parsley, which seemed fine. I do want to use cilantro next time, and I will add in more ginger because its flavor seemed to get lost a bit. Anyways, this will now be a regular in my cooking repertoire.

We absolutely loved this. The flavor is the perfect blend of everything good. We eat mostly vegetarian and it has been a challenge for me to find low fat recipes that taste good. This has gone in my permanent file and every other week recipe rotation

This is very tasty! I used powdered ginger because I realized I was out of the real stuff, and rogan josh for the curry powder because it's milder and some of the members of my family aren't huge fans of the strong stuff (though I am!). At the end of cooking I mixed in some leftover cooked grains (a mixture from Trader Joes) and this was very nice. It was a tad dry, but I'm looking forward to having it for lunch.

I love chickpeas and curries, so I was happy when I saw this recipe! I basically followed the directions except used a tablespoon of hot curry paste instead of powder, added garlic, and omitted the cilantro (dont like it). I ate it with couscous mixed in, mm!. I'll be making this one again!
