Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add yellow and brown or black mustard seeds and cover the pan; when the seeds start to pop, remove the pan from the heat and let stand until the popping ceases. Indian food is the best, if you ask me. But I love yellow or green curry paste, they are milder and I have learned to take just the right amount, which makes the dish spicy, yet mild enough for the kids as well. I would use more potato and less garbanzos and I think yellow sweet potato would have a great flavor with the spices instead of regular taters.
