This Creamy Chickpea Curry cooked in a tomato coconut base is so flavourful and hearty! All it takes is one pot and it’s ready in 10 minutes.
Sometimes the best recipes are the ones that are made up of simple ingredients! Canned chickpeas, coconut milk and diced tomatoes are always a staple in the HealthNut pantry, and I’m willing to bet they are in your house, too! This recipe is super simple and is ready in 10 minutes. This makes it perfect for quick & easy weeknight dinners. The best part about this curry is that it tastes like it was cooking for hours with all the rich flavours and fragrant spices.
Now that we are easing into fall, I find I’m craving more warm and comfort foods. I love all the vibrant spices that go into a simple curry like turmeric, coriander, cumin, paprika and chili. They all have their own unique taste and colour, but somehow work so well when mixed together.
This dish is perfect for meatless Mondays as it’s plant based, dairy-free, and gluten-free. Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are incredibly nutritious. They are a great source of fiber, rich in vitamins and minerals such as iron, folate, manganese, B-6 and provides a decent amount of protein.
I love tossing in a handful or two of fresh spinach or kale into soups, stews and curries. This is such an easy way to sneak in more leafy greens into your meals! You didn’t think I would make a dish without sneaking in my greens did you?!

Do you think that you can freeze it and it would be alright?
This is one of my pantry pull staples. So delicious and easy to put together!
Fantastic recipe! Easy to follow, full flavor, and actually healthy… hard to find all 3 in the same recipe (especially for those of us who are terrible in the kitchen). Thank you so much for posting it!
Made this for lunch and EVERYONE ravved! I added an extra can of chickpeas! So good!
Oh, that’s so great to hear! Thanks for sharing!
Nikole, your recipes look delicious. I can’t wait to try the chickpea curry! But, being so health conscious, I’m surprised you don’t include nutrition statements. I monitor my calories, fat, etc., and would love to have that info. Is it there and I’m missing it? Thanks!
I made this recipes when me and my fiancé barely wanted to cook but couldnt afford to eat out everyday. Made it for family once and for about 2 years we stopped making it. My family has been asking nonstop to remake it. So, I sat down and started looking for it. I thought I lost this recipe until today. Definitely saving this page to my favorites.
Easy. Cheap. Fast. Delicious!
