When you crave the warmth of Indian spices and it’s fig season, this Chickpea Curry with Figs and Apricots is pretty on point. This curry started out of a can of chickpeas, some fresh black mission figs, and some dried Turkish apricots. I ended up with a sweet-spicy curry that everyone loved. Leftovers are perfect the next day. I served over rice because the kids asked for it, but you could easily serve over any other grain.
