Melting Afghani chickpea curry – RecipeTin Eats
chickpea curry until I tried the Lahori Chanay recipe from Sugar Spice & More, on which this recipe is based. It’s a game-changer!
Why do you use split red lentils in this recipe? Red lentils cook faster than other types of lentils, and split red lentils cook even faster because they are literally the lentils split in half. We deliberately overcook them in this recipe so they break down and thicken the sauce naturally.
Can I use canned lentils instead of dried lentils? I haven’t tried it myself, but it should work. Just drain the canned lentils and add them with the chickpeas, skipping the entire lid-on simmer step.
What can I serve with this Afghani chickpea curry? You can serve it with basmati rice on the side or with flatbreads for dunking. If you can find traditional Afghani flatbreads, that’s ideal, but any flatbread will do.
I promise this will be one of the most fabulous chickpea curries you’ve ever had! Just wait until you experience those creamy chickpeas. Enjoy!
