Curries are so versatile as you can throw just about anything in them to bulk them up. This chickpea curry is full of protein, Vitamin c and iron from the mushrooms and Protein , folate, manganese and fiber from the chickpeas .You get many health benefits from the spices used too.
This chickpea and mushroom curry is very easy to make and super tasty eaten with rice or your favourite flat bread. It also adds some fire in your belly if you like spicy food :)

Now it's time to add in the veggie stock and the tin of chopped tomatoes.


Give it a good stir and add in the chickpeas, red pepper and mushrooms.


Stir thoroughly and let it simmer for 20 minutes on a low to medium heat.

  1. Mmm!! That looks tasty! I made a vegan curry, many years ago, with just baked beans, hard boiled eggs and, of course, curry sauce and onions. It was delicious, but I can't remember the exact recipe! :(
