When an Indian recipe calls for chili powder (or chilli powder, depending on where it was published), I should only put in half the amount--Indian chili powder is powdered chili, nothing else. And thus it's a bit hotter than Mexican, which has other stuff in it.

Other than that, the chick-pea curry was darned good.

recipe from?

[pixel39.livejournal.com]

A book I picked up at Borders called "Curry and Chili" or some such thing. It was remaindered to $2.99, as part of their continuing efforts to unload furrin (in this case, Australian) books on an unsuspecting Midwestern public.

Very simple recipe--oil, spices, chick peas, onions, garlic, tomato.

are you willing to reprint?

[pixel39.livejournal.com]

Sure, when I and a computer and the 'net and the cookbook are all in the same place at the same time.

Chick peas are not lentils.

I believe the word you're looking for is "legumes":

"Legumes are plants that have pods with tidy rows of seeds inside. This category includes beans, peas, lentils, and peanuts."
