Cooking Outside My Comfort Zone

I learned how to cook from my Grandma... and then my Mom showed me the easier way to make all the things that my Grandma would. Since then, I've pretty much stayed cooking the same things that I was taught at home: Chicken and Dumplings, Quesadillas, Oven-Roasted Chicken, etc. This summer, I tried to branch out of that wheelhouse and make some Chinese dishes I had learned. Those turned out pretty well, and now I am branching even further.

Last night, I attempted to make a curry-ish, masala-ish dish, and boy oh boy was it yummy!

I used onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, chickpeas, cilantro, and various spices and flavorings.

The result:

Over rice:

I think this might become a staple dish in our dinner rotation.
