Sweet-Hot Black Chickpeas with Golden Raisins

Certain key ingredients shape this curry’s final destiny: plump golden raisins provide ample sweetness, and the chiles bring the sweetness down a few notches. You will notice that there is hardly a multitude of spices here, shattering the myth that a curry has to house a plethora of them in order to be palatable. I love this for lunch, with slices of warmed baguette.
