This one pot chickpea stew is so simple to make and has the most wonderful flavours of Indian cuisine. Usually we make chickpea curry and serve it over rice, but we wanted to try something different and make a hearty stew. It’s such a delicious mix with potatoes. This recipe can be slow cooked or made on the stovetop in a large pot. Recipes like this are so versatile as well. You can swap the chickpeas for another protein like lentils and you can add other legumes, carrots or any other veg you can think of! This saves great for leftovers, so pack it in a freezer safe container to save for later.
Our favourite recipes in the fall and winter are definitely ones like this! It fills your kitchen with the most amazing smells and is so comforting. Since it’s a thicker consistency stew, you can eat it on its own, or serve it with some rice or bread on the side! We have found that the longer we’ve been vegan the more and more we love chickpeas. We’re always adding them into recipes or even eating them roasted as a snack!
