For a richer flavor, use ghee instead of olive oil. Adjust the amount of curry powder or spice blend to your preference. A pinch of garam masala added at the end can enhance the flavor. For a smoother curry, you can partially mash some of the chickpeas. This curry can be made ahead of time and reheated; the flavors will deepen overnight.
