Food and Cooking

I'm not sure about Thai style but most curry I've made is similar to making a beef stew, to give you an idea of difficulty.

It's not very hard to make. I very loosely follow this recipe

not the person you asked but: generally no.

Chickpeas (and really anything dried larger than lentils) can be a bit tricky. Definitely check the instructions on the ingredient to see if it lines up with the recipe. We had one attempt where the chickpeas were still inedibly tough when everything else was cooked. I've never actually managed to get dried beans to properly rehydrate with less than multiple hours of cooking so I stopped bothering.
