Attention Garbanzo Bean lovers!!

This recipe is sooooo good. A friend of mine made it and I had to have the recipe. So, I will post it for you to enjoy. It's called Vegetable and Chickpea Curry. Another plus: it's a crockpot recipe. It is a little spicy so you can tone it down with couscous on the side or top with some yogurt and chopped cucumber. Or you can eliminate the serrano chile all together.

1 1/2 C chopped onion

1 C carrot, sliced

1 Tbsp curry powder
