This coconut chickpea curry has been on rotation in my kitchen for well over a year. It’s vegan, quick, easy, delicious and uses simple and cheap ingredients.
Not only a favourite in our house, I’ve cooked this for others many times and the recipe is always requested because it’s just so yummy.
I’ll usually double the batch and have it for a few meals across the week. While this curry is delicious in the 30 minutes it takes to whip up, the flavour really develops over a couple of days.
If you feel so inclined, add a bit of veg on top. Steamed baby broccoli is perfect.
Vegan Coconut Chickpea Curry
This recipe truly is easy, making it suitable for novice or experienced cooks alike. If you’re a beginner cook, looking to batch cook for one or a family, this recipe is for you!
The curry will store really well in the fridge for 3 – 4 days. As the flavours develops over time, it’s also an ideal make-ahead recipe. It’s suitable for freezing and I’ll often freeze portions for one with a bit of rice for a better-than-takeaway-cooks-night-off meal.
