We use this potato and chickpea curry as a filling for any Indian flatbread such as paratha, or sometimes, I even put it in tortillas and make a wrap out of it. To make it fully vegan, just use water or veggie stock instead of chicken stock, and sugar instead of honey! You can also serve it over rice if desired. Either way, it has lots of flavour!
