Receta Chicken and Chickpea Curry
This recipe was shared with us by our good friend Marci Chan. Every dish Marci has ever made for us has been delicious, and this was not exception. We made it again last night for ourselves, and enjoyed it again so much that we had to post it. Serve with Raita or Nan if you can find it...otherwise the basmati rice will do. You may want to dial back a bit on the serrano and red pepper flakes (we halved the red pepper) if serving with kids.
