How to make creamy chickpea curry
What can I add to this curry?
Chicken: Cubed chicken breast or chicken thigh meat can be added to this curry. Brown the chicken before adding the tomatoes and coconut milk and cook with the chickpeas until the chicken is cooked through. Root vegetables: Sweet potato, potato, carrots, etc. can all be added in addition to the chickpeas. Other vegetables: To bulk this curry and add even more health benefits, add vegetables like cauliflower, kale, baby spinach and frozen peas.
Can I make this ahead?
Curries freeze incredibly well and making them ahead allows all the flavors to marry and deepen. Allow the cooked curry to cool to room temperature then transfer to an airtight container and keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To freeze, transfer to freezer-safe containers then freeze for up to 3 months.
What to serve with chickpea curry
We love serving this curry with steamed Basmati rice for a gluten-free meal although curry rice would be absolutely delicious. We also love Easy flatbread or homemade naan with any form of curry and a crunchy cucumber salad will cut through the richness nicely.
