While traditional flavor comes from dried chickpeas, you can use canned ones in a pinch. Drain and rinse them well. You will need to add about 2 cups of water or vegetable broth to form the gravy. Skip the pressure cooking step and add them directly to the cooked yogurt base.
Store leftover curry in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The gravy tends to thicken upon cooling; you can add a splash of hot water while reheating to adjust the consistency.
