Mole recipe- I gave up immediately after reading it! I did get some ideas about chiles and spicing.

Curry in chile (chili)- Here's a recipe from cdkitchen.com

BEEF CHILI CURRY

2 large onions chopped
5 cloves garlic chopped
Piece fresh root ginger, chopped (about 1/2 inch)
3/4 tablespoon red chile powder
1/2 teaspoon ground *tumeric
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 to 1 pound stewing beef, cubed
3 green chiles, split lengthways
Salt to taste
3 tablespoons oil
Red chiles as garnish

Place half the onions, garlic and ginger in a blender and grind to a fine paste. Add the ground spices to this paste and combine well.
Smear the cubed beef with about half the paste and sprinkle with salt. Leave to marinate for 10-15 minutes. Set the remaining paste aside.
Heat half the oil in a large heavy-base pan and add the remaining chopped onions and the beef. Cook, stirring, for about five minutes. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Add the remaining oil to the pan and stir-fry the green chiles with the remaining paste for 5-6 minutes over a medium heat.
Return the beef and onions to the pan with about 1/2 cup water.
Cook over a high heat for 3-4 minutes. Add salt and simmer for a further 40 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding more water if necessary.
When beef is cooked, serve with plain boiled rice and garnish with the red chiles.

This is an American recipe, but the net has a number of East Indian chili-curry recipes. I noticed one with chick peas that looked good. In any case, looking over these recipes shows that almost any combination, if it appeals, probably will taste good.
*tumeric bothers some people.

Added note- with curry, chopped dried apricots, prunes or raisins or a combination will add fruit flavors.
