Quick Vegetarian Cauliflower Chickpea Curry
Vegetarian Cauliflower Chickpea Curry is the perfect starter curry
This is one of my favorite vegetarian curries. Vegetarian Cauliflower Chickpea Curry is a quick and simple with two handfuls of ingredients. Perfect for a busy weekday meal. And it is a perfect starter curry for folks who have never made an Indian meal before. Or a great Meatless Monday dinner.
All the ingredients can be found in your local grocery store. Many you have already in your pantry: onions, canned chickpeas and tomatoes. Or you should. But that’s for a different post that I should write about what should be in your pantry to make quick, easy, and healthy meals with only a 15 minute stop at the grocery to pick up fresh veggies or herbs.
Back to this easy curry. It is an old stand-by. I service it with other Indian dishes such as Lazy Veggie Korma, homemade samosas, or slow cooker butter chicken if you want a feast or serving a crowd.
