I really enjoy a good curry. Especially on a rainy day, like we’ve been having lately here. Today I’m making a different kind of curry, I’m swapping meat for chickpeas. I like them and they make for a great replacement for meat, because chickpeas have plenty of protein.
Watch How To Make It:
This chickpea curry turned out better than I was expecting! The flavors from the spices and sauces have come together nicely and the chickpeas give you enough of a bite to not miss the meat. I’ll definitely do this again!

Here is the written recipe, with the ingredients and step by step instructions:
