Chickpea and vegetable curry stew
You will love how tasty and easy to make this chickpea and vegetable curry stew is. It’s a perfect weekday dinner for busy families and a great meal to serve for a when you have many people to feed. Vegan, healthy and gluten-free.
Curry is a more recent favorite flavor for me. I did not grow up eating it and once I discovered it, it still took me some time to really understand why some people loved it so much. And now we eat curry dishes at least once a week in different forms, like this Asian inspired Red curry and carrot soup or Indian style Vegan tofu Tikka Masala.
What’s in curry powders?
Most curry powders are a mix of coriander, turmeric, cumin, fenugreek, garlic, ginger and chili pepper, although the combination varies slightly depending on the recipe. You can have fun and try different type of curry powders until you find your favorite. I like using this store bought one.
Also, you could try making your own curry powder mix! Check out this simple homemade curry powder recipe, you never know, you might already have everything you need in your pantry!
Why you will love this chickpea and vegetable curry stew:
– The delicious robust taste coming from the curry powder is paired with the mildly sweet coconut milk. This classic duo is a perfect combination of creamy, sweet and spicy that is so hard to resist.
– Curry flavors combine very well with ingredients that are somehow bland. This curry stew does just that: it brings some glow and attention to some veggies your might find unexcitable otherwise.
– This recipe is a fast one to make and a good weekday meal to keep in mind (everything goes in the same pot!). Also, the leftovers are amazing since resting the dish in the fridge will allow the flavors to further blend together. So plan ahead, make double batch and you will have few meals ready to re-heat during a busy week.
– You don’t have a specific veggie from the recipe on hand? No problem! This recipe is very versatile and you can swap the veggies easily, so make it your own!
