Curry Coconut Chickpeas

Chickpeas, or garbanzo beans as some people call them, are high-protein, fibre-packed beans used in everything from curries to condiments, like hummus.

The other day I was flipping through my Gourmet Nutrition cookbook (a favourite of mine) and stumbled upon this delicious curry coconut chickpeas’ recipe… which I knew immediately that I had to make because I’m a bit of a sucker for a good curry.

In this recipe, chickpeas are mixed together with a bunch of veggies and some curry powder to create a flavourful meal that’s really good for you too.

This dish was also super easy-to-prep, and a hit at my dinner table.  My boys loved it. ????????

I paired my curry with BBQ chicken, but it could also be served on its own as a plant-based meal or an accompaniment to grilled seasonal seafood.  You can also mix the leftovers with some broth or coconut milk to make a yummy soup. ????

Hope you enjoy it!
