For my love of chickpeas, I'm always testing recipes to cook simple, healthy and easy Chickpea Curries for weekday dinner.&nbsp;In my home, no one will mind eating healthy if it tastes good... I'm sure so is in yours!?&nbsp;This creamy chickpea curry fits right in category of being healthy, easy to cook, and yet tastes like a scrumptious restaurant-quality dinner at home..... Vegan, high in fiber, gluten free, and is ready in just 20 minutes! How good does that sound?&nbsp;<img alt="Creamy and vegan Roasted Tomatillos Chickpea Curry | chefdehome.com" src="https://media.chefdehome.com/750/0/0/chickpea-curry/roasted-tomatillo-salsa-verde-chickpea-curry-chefdehome-1.jpg" />Honestly,&nbsp; Roasted Tomatillos Chickpea Curry is pure example of my passion for Mexican bold flavors and my Indian heritage. When I was testing this recipe ..... I had my kitchen counter lined-up with small bowls filled with different versions of this curry and my guinea pig tasting everything.. ;) (you know him). I had this recipe in mind since long but wanted to make sure flavors work good together.&nbsp;I'm no stranger to experimenting with curries, and knew tang of roasted tomatillos will go good with meaty chickpeas and spicy curry.. yet recipe-testing has it's own fun. (and reassurance) :)<img alt="Creamy and vegan Roasted Tomatillos Chickpea Curry served with rice for easy weekday dinner | chefdehome.com" src="https://media.chefdehome.com/750/0/0/chickpea-curry/roasted-tomatillo-salsa-verde-chickpea-curry-chefdehome-3.jpg" />Coconut Milk - Yes or No?I was divided among using coconut milk or or no coconut milk in this curry. By nature, tangy gravies or dressing go great with chickpeas... In fact also enhance the flavor of chickpeas. So for me, this curry without coconut milk had sharp zesty and tangy flavor which I really loved. However, coconut milk adds another layer of flavor, tone down the tang and spice of curry as well. Bonus is that it makes curry even more creamy and still it is vegan.&nbsp;So in short, you can skip coconut milk or add substitute like almond milk or heavy cream (not vegan). However, please don't use traditional yogurt for creaminess in this curry. The tang of yogurt does not go with already tangy Tomatillos in this Chickpea Curry.<img alt="Creamy easy healthy Indian Chickpea Curry with a fusion taste of roasted tomatillos for a quick weekday dinner | chefdehome.com" src="https://media.chefdehome.com/750/0/0/chickpea-curry/roasted-tomatillo-salsa-verde-chickpea-curry-chefdehome-10.jpg" />Is it Salsa Verde Curry?!!Oh my!! You guessed it! ;)I know you are about to ask me - Savita, this Roasted Tomatillos sauce reminds me of Salsa Verde! Even though the sauce is not pure Salsa Verde but my answer is: Sure, it is very similar! It has that sharp and tangy taste which is courtesy of&nbsp;roasted tomatillos. See, now you know what will this chickpea curry taste like? ;) &nbsp;(a little tang, little spice...)In-fact, if you have any leftover salsa verde in your refrigerator? This curry will fly from your kitchen to dinner table under 10 minutes.&nbsp;PS: In-case you have already&nbsp;made-up mind to use salsa verde? Please don't forget to cook-off the watery liquid of salsa verde or curry will be runny and will not taste good. Also use good quality salsa verde and use les, as salsa verde will be tangier than this sauce.<img alt="Tangy Creamy Chickpea Curry with Coconut Milk for a winter comfort yet healthy dinner | chefdehome.com" src="https://media.chefdehome.com/750/0/0/chickpea-curry/roasted-tomatillo-salsa-verde-chickpea-curry-chefdehome-4.jpg" />Okay, enough about curry. Now, I can't resist to share the good news!! From past few days it has been raining heavily (for a change) with temperature&nbsp;in low 50s. drum rolls!!!!! We have seen no rain past whole year. It was so badly&nbsp;needed!And such good weather calls for&nbsp;a bowl of warm Chickpea Curry! Happy tummy, happy mind and happy me! :)Honestly, in cold weather I need something warm for all three meals. Even when I pack salads for lunch, I pack a portion of warm side like some leftover curry, small soup, or lentils which can be enjoyed warm. To me that few bites of warm food makes lunch so so comforting. For dinner and breakfast, mostly warm meal is ritual in our house. Other than sometime in summers when we switch to smoothies.<img alt="Tangy Creamy Chickpea Curry with Coconut Milk for a vegan and gluten free winter comfort yet healthy dinner | chefdehome.com" src="https://media.chefdehome.com/750/0/0/c/chickpea-curry/roasted-tomatillo-salsa-verde-chickpea-curry-chefdehome-13.jpg" />Diet Info:This delicious Chickpea Curry is gluten free (when served with rice or quinoa), vegan and also rich in healthy fiber and vegetarian protein. &nbsp;I hope you all are enjoying your day so far. Now, these pictures are making me super hungry. Time to get up for lunch! Oh, and speaking of which reminds me that this Chickpea Curry freezes very well. I usually freeze curry in small portions so it is easy to reheat for 1-2 quick servings. You know what? I still have a portion of this curry in freezer. I guess, my lunch is calling me! :)Enjoy! -Savita

Tried the Chickpea Curry today just wanting something different it was yummy thank you will try another recipe soon

After cooking  can I put in fridge and have for a couple days

Made this yesterday but with only one can which was more than enough for me. My best friend tried it today for her “meatless” dinner and said it was fire which it is! I added some all purpose seasoning and omg this is so good. I’m bringing some to my mom &amp; sister tomorrow &amp; can’t wait for them to try it. I love it! Thank you for this.

I have made this several times this year and it is delicious. I'm making it today again and wanted to know the serving size for this dish. Is it one cup?

This recipe was absolutely delicious! I'm a pepper lover, so I added some red and yellow peppers with a hint of sugar.

Ive never cooked with all spice berries? do i use the ground all spice or can use the ones that come as berries?

Just made the recipe and my meat loving husband said it was “fire”! He has three servings!!!! Thanks so much. We started lent today and needed meat free options and this will definitely stay on rotation, even after Lenten season. It was so easy also....Great weeknight meal.

Hi! This recipe was delicious! Thank you very much for this post. I see you recently updated it. I remember in the previous post a recipe for homemade curry powder in the proportions needed for the recipe. Is it possible to post that again? I really enjoyed this recipe with the homemade curry powder. Thanks again!

Oh wow this is yummy! I hadn't used allspice berries before but love the flavor. Putting this in my rotation!

Making this meal again for the 4th time!! Absolutely in love and so is the fam! Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe Michelle! 😋😋😋

Tried and loved it so much I make it almost every other  week now  and I am not a vegetarian . If I could find more dishes like this I could seriously consider going  vegan

Vegan Chickpea Curry. Our awesome vegan take on the insanely popular dish. Ridiculously tasty and nutritious - just look at all that protein, fibre and iron.

basmati rice

onions

olive oil

lime

curry paste ((your favourite

can low fat coconut milk

soy sauce ((try

basil, fresh

maple syrup ((sugar is fine too))

sugar snap peas ((any green veg you like))

Rice

Add the rice, water and a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Keep an eye on the rice - when the water is boiling put a lid on it, reduce the heat to low and cook for another 8-10 mins (or as per packet instructions).

Prepare

While this is happening chop the onions, garlic, basil and juice the lime.

Put the oil and onions into a large pan and cook on a low-medium heat until the onions start to soften and turn clear, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic for a further 1 minute.

Curry

Add curry paste and the milk, stirring until the curry is dissolved. Add a pinch of salt. Taste test - if you’d like your curry a little stronger then add another tsp.

Chickpeas

Throw in the drained and rinsed chickpeas (and chopped green veg if you’re using it) and soy sauce, and cook on a medium heat for around 5 minutes, bringing the curry to a boil. If it starts to burn, reduce heat immediately.

Combine

Add the chopped tomatoes, chopped basil, lime juice, soy sauce and gently simmer the curry for another 2 minutes.

Taste

Taste test again, and if desired add a another tbsp soy sauce and the syrup or brown sugar. Give it another stir.

The rice should be done by now too - fork it through to make it fluffy.

Serve

Serve the curry and rice together with papadoms and naan bread as optional sides.
