  19. Hello,

    I was looking online for a recipe for the chickpea/spinach combination I enjoy in restaurants and found this one. I just made it, and we enjoyed it very much! The recipe was easy to follow and produced excellent results. I also made the mixed vegetable raita (with somewhat fewer vegetables, just what I had on hand), and that was wonderful too.

    Thanks!
