Easy Vegan Coconut Chickpea Curry with a side of steamed purple cabbage and jasmine rice for an easy week night dinner. This chickpea curry is perfect for a cold day and kid-friendly!

There are few things cozier than a bowl of chickpea curry on a cold night. It’s actually one of my favorite meals because during the late autumn and fall months, I start to lose the desire to spend hours cooking and would rather just cuddle up with a big, warm bowl and watch holiday movies (now you know the true Britt lol).

In fact, this chickpea curry comes together in under 30 minutes (really 20 if you do it right), so it’s a no brainer for me during the week. Unlike my summer version of a vegan curry, this one feels a little bit denser, which is just what you need during the winter. Summer, you always want to go lighter, and winter, a little bit heavier to keep you warm.

So naturally, I wanted to give you this easy dinner option as well! It’s not fair if I just keep it all to myself 😉

In fact, this recipe only calls for 6 ingredients, and one of those ingredients happens to be sea salt, which you probably already have on hand! I have to say, the really important ingredient (aside from the curry powder of course) is the Moodbeli Turmeric Tonic. Just a spoonful of this stuff will give your curry enough spice to keep you warm and cozy, as well as fight off some inflammation. It’s one of my favorite blends that I use.

Of course, you can always just swap in turmeric and black pepper, but make sure you’re buying a really high quality turmeric because non-organic turmeric is especially prone to pesticides and radiation (which would defeat the whole purpose of it being anti-inflammatory!). That’s why I personally love Moodbeli; it’s a really great company on a mission to source the highest quality ingredients.

But what else might you need for the recipe? Simple! Just add:

Coconut milk

Curry powder

Ground Ginger

Coconut aminos

Chickpeas

That’s it! When I whipped up this recipe, I had a huge batch of white rice still left over, so that’s what I paired with it, but you can serve it with cauliflower rice or quinoa if you’d prefer! I personally like the white rice because if you cook it with coconut oil and then cool it, you get a nice resistant starch that’s really good for rebuilding healthy gut flora.

So enjoy this recipe, and stay warm and cozy!
