Chickpea Vegetable Curry

This is one of my favorite dishes to make! I’ve messed around with it multiple times and finally got it just right. The best way I know how to describe the flavor is “rich” and “earthy.” It’s one of those things you just have to try- trust me.  This recipe makes about 4-5 servings and does a great job of keeping its flavor. In fact, I almost think it tastes better after sitting in the fridge overnight! But that might just be me.

I like to use Trader Joe’s yellow curry sauce for this recipe, but any yellow curry sauce/paste will work perfectly! The fresh ginger is also key to bringing out the flavor of the dish. It gives it a slightly spicy yet warm undertone.

When choosing a pan to cook with, I recommend using one with high sides to it. When adding the curry sauce to the onion-garlic-ginger mix, it can tend to splatter and pop a little bit before the coconut milk is added but a pan with higher sides will help control the splatter.

This curry tastes great on its own, but it’s also great with rice! You can either mix the rice into the whole pot of curry or add it individually to each serving. I like to add rice to it for more volume.
