Creamy Chickpea Curry

"This dish goes together very quickly. You will have dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes. If you don't have cooked rice, start it before you make the curry and they should be finished at the same time."

  1. My absolute favorite new recipe. I've made this about a half dozen times now, it's the best curry recipe I've ever made! I make it with brown rice and it can be frozen so I have something healthy and tasty around even when I'm too busy to cook (especially good around exam time!). It's flexible too- I add carrot, edamame beans and spinach or whatever else I have around. Thank you!!
     
  2. This was so easy and my go to now for Chickpea Curry. I added some frozen mixed veg to soak up some of the sauce and it came out nice and thick...delicious.
     
  3. This was my first time making curry, but It turned out great! Fantastic recipe, very easy to follow even for some who has never made a curry before. Next time I will probably add a little bit of red chile powder to make it a little spicier.<br/><br/>Thank you for sharing this great recipe!
     
  4. Loved this! I didn't have red curry paste. I was too lazy to go to the grocery store & used yellow curry paste. I wouldn't recommend using yellow-it just doesn't look all that appetizing. The flavour of this dish is fantastic. It has a beautiful heat after you've swallowed-just perfect. Thanks for sharing this recipe!! It is fantastic...I'm off to get red curry paste!
     
  5. This, like soup, is better the next day when all the flavors have blended. Quick and very yummy! Will make again.

  1. Fantastic flavor! I had a lonely can of lite coconut milk in my cupboard that I've been wanting to use and picked this recipe as I had all the other ingredients too! I LOVED it! After reading a few similar recipes, I also added some frozen spinach and a few dashes of cayenne. I ate it over some leftover bulgur I had in the fridge. I will probably be making this weekly for my lunches! UPDATE: I just made this again and replaced the chickpeas with 1 cup of lentils and a chopped chicken breast. Just as tasty! I had to add about 1 cup of water also for the lentils. I replaced the tomato with a can of diced tomatoes. I love that this recipe is so versatile!
     
  2. Very good, nice and mild but very good flavor. I subbed fish sauce for the soy sauce.
     
  3. this was amazing. I did put my own spin on it though. First I added 1/4 cup of cooked red lentils to add some protein. I ended up not tasting much of the lentils though, and will use 1/2 to 1/3 cup next time. Then I changed up the 2 TBS of soy sauce listed for 1 TBS soy sauce and 1 TBS Hoison Sauce. I used Light Coconut Milk in my recipe as well as Basmati rice instead of jasmine. I used the chopped cilantro in my meal. The meal was an excellent blend of spice and sweet. The coconut milk and brown sugar gave it such a sweetness but the red curry paste and (possibly Hoison Sauce) gave it a firey kick!
     
  4. My boyfriend and I both loved this dish. Like a previous reviewer, I used lemon instead of lime juice and I also used a couple of tablespoons of dried basil since I didn't have fresh. It was still fantastic. This is going in my regular dinner rotation!
