This healthy chickpea curry can easily be enjoyed on its own, but I love it with basmati rice and naan bread. You can also serve it with a side of veggies or with brown rice for more fibre and nutrition.

Ingredients in Healthy Chickpea Curry:

Chickpeas – canned chickpeas work best for this recipe. Be sure to rinse, drain and pat dry before using

Coconut milk – keeps this curry creamy and completely dairy free. Full-fat coconut milk works best for this recipe.

Onions, spinach, tomatoes – the base of your curry recipes and provides so much delicious, cozy flavours

Tomato Paste – helps to thicken the curry and add more flavour

Vegetable stock – any stock will work or even water if you don’t have any stock on hand

Garam Masala -the flavour star in this cozy curry recipe!
