I love a good curry. It is my to go to comfort food. And it does not matter to me if it is of Thai, Indian or of any other origin. It simply needs to be flavorful, creamy with lots of coconut milk and easy to cook. Just like a Chickpea Curry!
Why chickpeas? Well, sometimes though, I do not want to eat meat. Or I have nothing at home and I am too lazy to go quickly to the butcher. But I always have a can of chickpeas and coconut milk around. As I recently found out how easy it is to make hummus, chickpeas become part of my pantry staple. Or have you ever tried a chickpea Brownie? If not- try it! It is so good!
And this Chickpea Curry is so easy to make!
And it has all the fragrants and taste a good curry needs!
The lime is quite important for this curry, as it gets better with it and will give the curry the finishing touch.
Serve it with some rice or naan bread.
