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.

So flavorful! This didn’t take long at all! I’m always down for a one pot stop shop meal! This is that and packs a punch with flavor!
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.
Thanks Jayne! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

Delicious, and Easy! I made it with coconut rice, so I used 2 pot! Love this recipe and website!
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.
Thanks Vonda! So glad you enjoyed it!!
I made this dish last night and it was absolutely delicious so flavorful and super easy!!
This is by far my favorite meal. I love to pair this dish with jasmine rice!
This recipe was f***ing amazing for my first time trying it. Even better as a leftover and o normally don’t eat leftover but got damn this recipe was 🔥🔥🔥
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.
I made this a few days ago and absolutely loved it! It came together so quick and easy. This is definitely going on my favorites list!
Oh my goodness this was DELICIOUS. So so easy to make and easy to find ingredients. Makes a lot too so it’ll be great leftovers. Thanks for sharing your recipes with the world!
The recipe was amazing!!! I have tried to make curry before. I tried it with a curry paste and it didn’t turn out well. This recipe was so flavorful, the spices and the smell alone!!!! Love it
10/10 This recipe is so delicious and easy to make. I can appreciate a meal that tastes like you’ve been in the kitchen all day but literally took 30-45 minutes. The flavors are so on point. I even got my non-vegan family asking for seconds. I paired mine with basmati rice and naan bread. Just make it , you won’t be disappointed!!
