Chickpea Masala arrived today. Nov 2025, so pretty pleased. I have about one a month. I had the Rustic Rogan Josh recently. It's nice, but you need to add some veg. I only had carrot, could have done with some cauliflower. The Chickpea is filling on it's own as it has whole chickpeas, which are about twice the diameter of normal peas (and remember, double diameter = 8 x the volume for a sphere).

FRNC, You sound somewhat unfamiliar with the joys of chickpeas? They're great for much more than curries and not much like garde peas. They make an acceptable meat substitute in cottage pie or bolognese, if you break them up a bit and cook with an oxo. Cheap if you buy them dried, but they can go tough after a few years of storage. Or you can buy them canned.

Also they are a source of protein, and low oxalate. But I'm not into buying them dried. I might get some tinned ones. I think they are in the Falafel mix I bought, which I need to start using up.

Also you can make hummus just by a bit of extra smashing.
