   Garbanzo beans (chickkpeas) and black-eye peas atre first cousins.   
   No big deal and no one will report you to the food police.   
      
   I'm not overly fond of curry without sampling. There are many, many   
   different curry mixes. I wish the recipe writers would speciy which/   
   whose curry mix/powder/paste they used.   
      
   Biryani is pretty straight forward. I'll probably never make this recipe   
   as written since it's a "restaurant" quantity formula. I got it from my   
   local Gordon Food Service store where I score a lot of my staple    
   gropceries.
