RECIPE: recipetineats.com/melting-afghani-chickpea-curry
Named as such because the chickpeas are so meltingly creamy, this is a recipe inspired by a chickpea curry I had from Afghan Sufra in Lakemba, an area of Sydney known for its wonderful Middle Eastern and sub-continental food scene. I'm obsessed!
I just never knew chickpeas could be so meltingly creamy just by adding a smidge of baking soda! I also love how the sauce is thickened by cooking lentils until they breakdown, two neat tricks picked up from the Pakistani Lahori Chanay by Sugar Spice & More on which this recipe is based, combined with the Afghan flavours in the chickpea curry in Parwana, a wonderful Afghan cookbook by Durkhanai Ayubi.
