This recipe for curried beef and chickpeas brings me back to my childhood and my mom's Sunday supers. In the pressure cooker it just takes half the time!
If you don't have a pressure cooker, this recipe is incredibly easy to adapt back to a normal stove mode. Just add about a 1.5 cups of water and simmer on medium low for 1-1.5 hours, until meat is tender. Stirring from time to time to make sure food doesn't stick. —Flirty Foodie
