You start with Rice as it takes 15-20 minutes. First, rinse the Rice and then measure it with the measuring cup. The yield is almost  300% of the raw rice. So for family of 4, 1 pound raw rice is good enough. Like we Indians or Asian eat lot more rice. Add twice of water from the same measurement tool whatever you have used for rice. Cover the pot and keep your burner on Medium heat. Keep an eye as some water would spill. If you use rice cooker,  then you don't have to worry. 

Chickpeas is ready to use but if you have vegetables you need to stir fry. 

Your Curry is ready to go too. Put Mother' Curry in a Pan, only thing to add for you is salt, red chilli powder if you want a bit spicier or water if you want more liquidy. You can use Curry as dressing, dip or your barbecue sauce too as it makes anything instantly flavorful.
