Chickpea Coconut Curry
I’ve recently realized how much I love curry, and weirdly I’ve eaten Indian food only a couple times in my life. I definitely plan on trying more Indian food because it’s also usually plant-based too. If you couldn’t tell already from the recipes on my feed, I love coconut. I also rave about Hope Food's Thai Coconut Curry hummus. So when I was thinking of what I wanted for lunch the other day, I decided to combine two of my favorites and make chickpea, wait for it, coconut, wait for it, curry. Groundbreaking, I know. Mixed it up with tomatoes and spinach and a side of grains (a rice quinoa mix) and I finished all the chickpea curry and all the rice and tbh it was a lot and I loved it. I hope you do too.
