Spicy Chickpea Curry Recipe

 This spicy chickpea curry is the perfect vegan meal prep dish to make for lunch or dinner throughout the week.

A few years ago one of my new year goals was to eat a plant based diet for the entire year. That didn't last more than a couple months, but it has instilled a love of plant based cooking for me in my life, and more often than not I find myself reaching for plant based meals over anything else. This spicy chickpea curry is one that I've been making for the last several months. It's super easy to make, uses basic ingredients, and is perfect for meal prepping and eating throughout the week. 

How to Make Vegan Chickpea Curry:

To make this curry recipe you're going to start with cooking your diced onion, minced garlic, carrots, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper together in a pan over medium heat and 1 tbsp oil. Once they have cooked gown and softened a bit, you'll add in all your spices, followed by the coconut milk and all remaining ingredients. Simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes until the carrots are tender, and serve.

Chickpea Curry Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp Olive Oil

• 4 cloves Garlic, Minced
• 1 Red Bell Pepper, Diced
• 1 Green Pepper Diced
• 2 Carrots, Sliced into small rounds
• 1 Jalapeno
• 1 Yellow Onion, Diced 
• 3 tbsp Curry Powder
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
• 2 cans Chickpeas, Drained
• 1 14oz Can Fire Roasted Tomatoes
• 1 14 oz Can Full Fat Coconut Milk
• 1/2 cup Vegetable Broth

What to Serve with Chickpea Curry:

This can easily be eaten on it's own, but to round it out and make it a more complete meal, you could pair it with some white or brown rice on the side. I also love eating it with a toasted piece of sourdough bread. You could also switch it up with some different grains like couscous or quinoa.
