Chickpea Curry

Happy new year guys! I kicked Veganuary off yesterday on Instagram (@prettybrownvegan) and on my YouTube Channel (here). For day two I decided to show how versatile Chickpeas can be! In addition to this Chickpea Curry, which is smooth and amazingly good, I also uploaded a recipe for a Chickpea based Pasta.

Curry was one of the first dishes that helped me realize I could really commit to this Vegan thing! There are so many different flavors of curry, and, twice as many combinations of veggies to load them up with. This simple curry is as good as it looks, and, doesn't require much skill to make.
