Vegan/Vegetarian and Gluten-free. This easy curry chickpea dish is made without coconut so it’s perfect for someone who has an allergy or is wishing to lower the calories of a classic curry dish without loosing the flavor.
I paired the chickpeas with roasted red potatoes and roasted root vegetables. But it would be lovely served with rice and a side salad or with naan bread and raw veggies. It was a huge hit at my dinner table and I hope it is at yours as well.
