Can anyone identify this Indian dish?

I ate at a friends house, who is Indian, and his mother made this awesome dish...It was a while ago, so I have a hard time remembering (other then it was really good.) What I do remember was that it was yogurt based, and they refered to it as yogurt. It was chunky and had a lot of things in it. And it was savory, but it had pomegranate seeds in it so it had a sweet crunch every once in a while. I ate it over rice. I know this is vague, but does anyone have any clue what this might be, and if so, how to make it?

Can anyone identify this Indian dish?

Reply:It is some type of stew. There may have been nuts and chickpeas. They use lots of chickpeas. Maybe chickpea curry, and vegetables. What color was it, and was it stewlike?
Reply:Is this it?

Reply:Maybe some kind of raita, but that is not usually served over rice. Google "raita" and see if that's what it was.
