For months, I’ve been trying to perfect a coconut curry recipe, but I always felt like something was missing. Tofu is a great meat substitute, but for this recipe, I was looking for something else.
Then one night, it hit me. Chickpeas! Chickpea curry! That’s what I was looking for!
For this chickpea curry, I added sliced pineapples, as I love pineapples in my curry. If you’ve never tried it, give it a whirl. You may find yourself a new favorite ingredient!
Generally, I use quinoa instead of rice because it contains more protein and fiber, but I find that rice has a richer texture that goes perfectly with creamy curry sauce.
With the added fiber and protein from chickpeas, this chickpea curry is a perfect vegan, gluten-free, healthy dinner!
