Chickpea Curry

Recipe modified.  Original recipe by Family Circle.

School is in full force and what little time and brain power I have left at the end of the day is...actually non-existent.  I'm a planner.  I like to make a grocery list, plan my meals and and look forward to trying the next new recipe.  Planning these days has been lost with the wind however and grocery shopping has become a rare trip to pick up some banana's, bread and cheese.  What I can count on however is a stock of canned tomatoes and chickpeas.  I keep them for those days that I find myself without any food in the fridge.  Those days where all I need is a good comforting meal.  Well, this is it, my go to comfort meal.  I grab a glass of wine, dish up a bowl of chickpea curry and curl up on the couch to give myself some much needed TLC.
