Indian chickpea stew - curry with coconut milk
An Indian-inspired stew with chickpeas and coconut milk that's perfect for dinner every day! This is another wonderful dish from the kitchen cupboards, as it is based on chickpeas, tinned tomatoes and one packet of medium-fat coconut milk.

If you want a thicker and even more creamy curry, you can opt for a creamy 24% coconut milk. The rest of this stew is made up of fresh and dried spices, so the stew will be very aromatic and warming. This is a basic recipe for chickpea curry, which can also be supplemented with sliced pumpkin or spinach in season. I usually make this stew with home-cooked chickpeas, which I usually take out at the beginning of the week and store in the fridge so that I can quickly make hummus, add them to salads, or puree them into soups and stews. If you don't have cooked chickpeas, canned chickpeas in a tin are ideal. In less than 30 minutes, you'll have a hearty, flavoursome stew steaming on your table!
