  • This chickpea curry is perfect for meal prep. Make it a day ahead to allow the flavors to meld and develop, and you'll be rewarded with even more delicious leftovers.
  • Feel free to customize your curry by adding more veggies, such as diced carrots, sweet red bell peppers, or peas. Just remember to add the peas towards the end to prevent over-cooking.
  • If you find that your curry is too spicy, add a bit of water or any type of milk to dial down the heat.
  • On the other hand, if you want to turn up the heat, add cayenne pepper to give it an extra kick.
  • Love a creamier curry? After the curry is done cooking, add a splash of heavy cream. This will not only give it a smoother consistency but also a mellow, luxurious flavor, akin to butter chicken.
