3 C's ::: Curried Chickpeas with Cauliflower

People who know me know I love certain foods with a passion. The tastes of things like curry, chickpeas and cauliflower are incredible, when done right. And, adding raisins is so good. Somehow, there's a little twist that makes one dish taste mouth watering...

Last night, the following combo worked like a champ:

hot red pepper, cayenne, cumin and curry to taste

3 cups of chickpeas

1 onion

4 cloves of garlic

a little ginger, about an inch

a cup of raisins

2 or 3 carrots

some cauliflower if you have it

I combined the pepper, spices and browned with the onion, then added the presoaked chickpeas and cauliflower, and saved the carrots and raisins until about 10 minutes before it was done.

Some people like to add coconut milk, but I didn't because love of coconut is not unanimous in my home.

It went well with some couscous and collard greens from McRorie Community Garden.

Suggestions? My only complaint was that there wasn't that little sharp zing I get from the seasoning in some recipes.
