I had an Indian-filled weekend! 1st I went to a bollywood movie party on Friday and then on Saturday/Sunday I dove into one of my Waverley Kitchens spice pacs.
The recipe was for a potato corn curry but I substituted chickpeas instead of the potato (I don’t eat potatoes much for some reason and rarely have them at home).
FANTASTIC- according to those who tried it. Personally, I thought it was a tad bit salty but that’s probably because I didn’t follow the recipe to the T. The spice packets made the whole process less intimidating (Indian food is just INTIMIDATING to me- all the spice combination and roasting and whatnot).

I’m excited to tear in to my other two pacs. This is definitely a great way to get started with Indian cooking and I’m glad I got to try it out!

That looks and sounds great! You are making me hungry. I’m ready for dinner.
amazing! i love chickpeas. too bad it was a bit salty, but it could probably be replicated with a well-stocked spice cabinet.
WK family thanks you trying out the WK Pacs. Wow, you also got to enjoy a Bollywood movie party!! Imagine cooking Indian food with friends at a party like that
Interesting you tried the chickpeas variation. V cool. However, chickpeas will make the dish salty. Potatoes need a bit more salt and often chickpeas have some salt with them. Some lemon with chickpeas will probably take care of the salt issue. In the spice mix we try to keep salt on the low side. Anyway, it’s always exciting to see people try variations.
