What a delicious sounding recipe! I'm a massive fan of chickpeas and curry powder so this is right up my alley. I have never actually used fresh turmeric root before. Not sure why as I caused the powdered form all of the time. I'm going to have to give it a try!

Hi Amy, you'll love using fresh turmeric rather than powder, besides it's healthier. Thank you for your visit, many blessings
