This is a fabulous dish. So tasty. A favourite of me.

This was quick to make and delicious. I used frozen spinach and substituted the corriander seeds for ground corriander and used a spice mix instead of fennel. Will definitely make it again for a quick mid week meal.

Easy to pull together, added a few jarred roasted peppers and peas, the teenagers loved it!

Added chilli flakes plus some coconut nut milk as didnt have coconut oil. Also cooked a bit longer

I used a pestle and mortar to lightly crush the seeds before cooking to help release flavour. I've never added fennel seeds to a curry before so it was an interesting flavour which I didn't much care for but was a hit with my partner. We also added mushrooms as we had some left over, and they added another delicious texture and flavour to the dish.

Really enjoyed this simple dinner.

I made this as i was trying to use what was in the fridge and cupboard and it turned out to be one of the best chickpea curries I’ve tried. I loved the whole spices in it. We think it would be great with aubergine in it so will try that the next time. Going on my quick and easy definitely make again list

Very good

This is a favorite in our house - especially with our kids! We use half the fennel seeds (kids preference) and I usually add more veggies, like pumpkin or sweet potato or zucchini.

Irena 6 months ago

Full of flavour (even with a slight kick with added chilli powder) and so easy to make! Comforting to know simple cupboard staples can create such a wholesome and quick meal.
Also loving the app. Thanks to the whole team. πŸ’–

Really tasty, just needed a little more spice for me. Added chilli flakes

Marta 10 months ago

Very nice and tasty, just felt it needed a little extra kick - next time will add chili flakes!

It was alright but found it a bit bland. Need more spices, more garlic and maybe some chilli powder or flakes. We had some home made garlic and coriander flat bread to go with it. Otherwise it's too acidic.

Lovely mild curry
