We thought each part of the dish (rice and curry parts) were okay separate, but definitely were YUMMY together. These need to be made for the same meal and eaten in the same spoonful.We used 1/8th tsp of the ginger because we only had ground ginger; and it was not over-powering (and I really don't like powdered ginger). Also used 2 Tbsp dried peppermint leaves instead of the fresh mint.My husband said he could taste the mint, but I could only _feel_ it - at the junction of my nasal passage and my mouth. It was a wonderfully aromatic feeling.Great dish Jemima! Thanks to your son for submitting it!!!

I'm a huge meat eater and this was a nice suprise. My 4 year old loved it. I followed the directions and it turned out delicious. I'm going to be making this one again.

This recipe took me back to when I used to work for an Indian doctor and his wife as a nanny. They would always make extra when cooking so I could experience their foods and this was just wonderul.

Best rice I've ever eaten! The garbanzos are interesting. I followed the recipe exactly the first time; all I could taste was lemon. The second time I made it, I cut the lemon juice in half and doubled the curry powder. Perfect!

The texture of the garbanzo beans were perfect, however, I followed the advice that some of the other users suggested with adding more ginger. That, to me, ruined the dish. If this is your first time making this dish, stick with the recipe and than add more of the ingredients to your liking the second time around. I also didn't use as much cilantro as the recipe called for, and felt like it was still overpowering.

Next time I might try mixing in the fresh mint AFTER cooking the rice. Also, I used a good deal more ginger, like 2-3 Tablespoons, and it was very good.
