Hi, can i say first off, this website is a fantastic idea, I am a big lover of Indian food and even bigger fan of cooking it, not that I am great at it mind you!

I have a question, I am always out for dinner at Indian restaurants in Glasgow, and often served with Samosas is chickpeas in this sauce and I could honestly eat it forever! I would like to konw if you know what it is or have a recipe for it?? It's quite red in colour and slightly sweet and sour. I have tried many a time to find out what it is but without knowing what it is called its rather hard. Your help would be appreciated!!

Thanks

cant find the post I was thinking about but I seem to remember replying along the lines of was it a basic chickpea curry or something like the Greek houmous made into more of a paste? ?

Nope, this is my first itme on here. Its not a curry, its usually poured over the top of a samosa, or served as a side. The chickpeas are whole as well. Im sorry im so vague. If i have sent this twice i also apologise, my computer playing up.

It could be Chickpea masala or Spicy Chickpea served with Tamarind Sauce.

It is one of the Chaat dishes, spicy and hot, in the same category as samosa.
