Vegan Chickpea Curry Recipe

I make this vegan chickpea curry at least once a week during the wintertime. It’s quick, delicious, and very nourishing.  I always seem to have the ingredients on hand, even when I’m almost out of groceries.

A few people have asked me for this recipe, so here it is!

2. Add the tomatoes and spices except for salt and pepper and saute for another 10 minutes until tomatoes are broken down and soft.

3. Add chickpeas and turn heat down to low. Add 1 cup of water or veggie broth, and simmer for 15 minutes.

YUM!!  I think I’m actually going to make this for dinner tonight, as it’s the day before grocery shopping (fridge is empty and I am two bananas shy of a banana situation!!)
