This simple vegetarian curry is a riff on a recipe from “Parwana” by Durkhanai Ayubi, who, along with her family, owns Parwana Afghan Kitchen in Adelaide, Australia. For convenience and ease, we opt for canned chickpeas, which need only to be rinsed and drained before use. At the end of cooking, when the skillet is off the heat, we stir in a generous splash of vinegar so its acidity stays sharp and bright. The tanginess really wakes up the flavors of the earthy chickpeas, fragrant spices and subtly sweet fresh tomatoes. Serve with basmati rice or with warm flatbread.

Tip

Don’t add all of the chopped onion to the skillet. Reserve about a quarter of it to sprinkle on the curry on as a garnish.

Umm..It's tasting bland to me while it's cooking. not sure why.
Followed recipe exactly but it just doesn't have any yummy taste to me. I will have to add some other things to it in order to make it edible.

Great hot or cold
The curry and cardamon are perfect. The vinegar at the end is a great addition. I serve it hot when I first make it. (No rice needed.) And then have it for lunch the next day when it's cold. Yum.
