Notes
- Don’t overcook the chicken: Chicken can quickly become tough and dry if overcooked. Be sure to cook the chicken just until it’s no longer pink inside and still moist and tender.
- Use the right amount of spices: Curry dishes rely on a complex blend of spices to achieve their signature flavor. Be sure to measure your spices carefully and adjust the amounts to your taste.
- Don’t let the chickpeas turn to mush: Chickpeas, like lentils, can become mushy if overcooked. Keep an eye on them and test them for doneness periodically. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
- Balance the flavors: Curry chicken with chickpeas is a rich and flavorful dish, but it’s important to balance the flavors so they don’t become overwhelming. Consider adding a squeeze of lemon or lime juice or a dollop of yogurt to help balance the flavors.
- Adjust the heat level: Curry dishes can vary in heat level depending on the type and amount of spices used. Adjust the heat level to your preference, and if it’s too spicy, try adding a little bit of sugar or honey to balance it out.
- Be mindful of cross-contamination: Chicken can harbor harmful bacteria, so it’s important to handle it carefully to avoid cross-contamination. Always wash your hands and cutting boards thoroughly after handling raw chicken, and avoid using the same utensils or surfaces for raw and cooked chicken.
