Yam Chickpeas Curry Recipe!!

Chickpeas must be the easiest thing to cook. It just goes with anything and I especially love it with Puri (fried wheat bread) or rice. Since, I do not make puris that often, I tend to combine it with rice. On this recipe, I tried to do something different. I usually combine potato when making chickpeas curry but this time I substituted Yam (Tarool) in place of potato. Surprisingly the dish came out even better. So, here you go everyone enjoy this delicious yet extremely easy recipe :)
