I KNOW, It’s hasn’t even been two weeks since the mango curry homemade BBQ sauce and we’re eating curry again. Which is probably breaking a handful of rules from the “Food Blogger Handbook.”

Which, doesn’t actually exists just FYI. Don’t get all kinds of excited and go surfing internet land for the elusive book that will help you achieve your secret dreams of Food Blogger Stardom.

Instead, I highly suggest that you eat curry again. Except, you all know that by “suggest” I totally mean “demand.” Because IT’S OCTOBER ALREADY. Which means my cozy-socks-and-trendy-infinity-scarf wearing self wants to get her face all up in a big pot of creamy and so, SO SMOOTH pot of comforting chickpea goodness.

Why this is the BEST Curry

You can never have too much of a good thing, especially when you mix things up to keep it interesting, and this definitely rings true when it comes to curry! If you eat thai pumpkin curry for lunch, you might still be up for some curry sweet potato almond butter dip later on as a snack too. So if you can NEVER have enough curry, I naturally made another curry recipe- give a warm welcome to this coconut chickpea curry recipe. It’s FULL of flavor, creamy coconutty goodness, and is meat-free as it uses chickpeas for protein instead! It is a healthy, filling and delicious dish that speaks for itself and your crew is going to love it!

Add some of the coconut milk and curry paste, stirring until everything has dissolved and is smooth. Add chickpeas, soy sauce and remaining coconut milk, bringing the mixture to a boil.

Simmer

Once it has boiled for a few minutes, add in the lime juice, tomato and sugar and let it simmer for a little bit. Next, stir in the cilantro.
