Like many nights lately, I was just looking for a very simple and quick recipe to make for dinner tonight. I rummaged through the cupboards and decided on using coconut milk and chick peas and ended up making Curried Chick Peas. This is a very basic 1 pot recipe that pretty much anyone can make. There's nothing exceptional about it, but I have a fondness for chick peas prepared pretty much any way, so I still enjoyed it. I topped it with a plain grilled chicken breast and a wee bit of cilantro which made for a filling meal.
