Doug- Apologies. I didn't mean to get you all steamed about the chick pea thing. I just thought that I would post an alternative (but similar) recipe. I put the word "authentic" in quotes for a reason. I'm not calling you a lousy cook for using curry powder. And I probably will check out your recipes, as I am also a vegetarian, and a curry lover.
