Vegan Chickpea Curry

Chickpea Curry

It’s no secret that I’m obsessed with curry. It’s so versatile and easy to customize. Especially in these chilly winter months! For this version, I wanted to try something a little different.

I used chickpeas and spinach, accompanied by Muir Glen’s Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes. I love this Chickpea Curry because it’s so easy to put together and packed with flavor!

In addition to an easy meal, I love a quick one and this Chickpea Curry is exactly that! With just a few ingredients, you can make a quick and easy dinner option.

Preparing this curry takes less than 30 minutes! As with most great meals, you want to make sure you’re using quality ingredients for the best results.

Though the chickpeas carry the most noticeable texture, Muir Glen’s Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes are definitely the icing on the cake!

I’ve always loved fire roasted tomatoes and use them every chance I get. Especially Muir Glen’s. They always give the dish a little extra flare and fresh flavor.

Whenever I’m shopping for Muir Glen’s tomatoes, I always enjoy popping into my local Durham Co+op Market (find yours here).

Lucky for you, all NCG Co+ops are running a special from Jan 22 – Feb 4. In mid-January, the 14oz. cans are on sale 10 for $10. In the first half of February, the 28oz. cans will be on sale 2 for $4.

My Durham Co+op Market always has the best vegan finds and their hot bar is amazing (affordable too)!

How to Make Vegan Chickpea Curry

I love how easy it is to make this dish! Once your ingredients are prepped, this Chickpea Curry comes together effortlessly.

The onions and minced garlic provide you with a flavorful base for the curry.

Once the minced garlic and onions are fragrant, you can begin adding in your Muir Glen Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes, chickpeas, coconut milk, and frozen spinach.

Once these are added, it’s time to add in some of the key ingredients that make a curry really come together- the spices!

The combination of curry powder and garam marsala really add to the flavor of this curry.

    I’m making this tonight for the kiddos. I can’t indulge like I want to, though, because I have clear brackets with braces. I can’t wait til I get them off.

    Outstanding- I could not get my hands on garam masala on short notice, but the meal was phenomenal even without it.

    I just made this for this week’s meal prep and it is delicious! I was excited to try Garam Marsala for the first time (found it at Whole Foods) and it added a nice flavor.

    This was so good and easy!! My only change was that I used fresh spinach instead of frozen, because that’s what I had. Served it over basmati rice! Smells SO good when it’s simmering.

    I didn’t have fire roasted tomatoes, so I had to substitute regular diced with a some paprika, but it was still BOMB! Can’t wait to try it again with the fire roasted tomatoes.
