Recipe: Yummy Spicy Thai Red Curry with Chickpeas

Spicy Thai Red Curry with Chickpeas. I like couscous or brown jasmine rice with this warm and comforting curry. Red Thai sweet potato chickpea curry in a creamy spicy coconut sauce is loaded with hearty vegetables and an incredible vegetarian take on curry! Let's talk about the best vegetarian curry you will EVER have in your life.

The paste is typically made with red chilies, garlic, lemongrass, and other herbs and spices (), making it spicy and fragrant! This inspired version uses these same Thai flavors, but adds chickpeas and ground turmeric, which are not common in Thai curries. This Thai red curry chickpeas with coconut cream is an instant-favorite. You can cook Spicy Thai Red Curry with Chickpeas using 9 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you achieve it.

Spicy Thai Red Curry with Chickpeas instructions

1. Sauté the onions and garlic in coconut oil for 5 mins until translucent..
2. Add the curry paste and continue to fry for another 5 mins or so stirring often so it doesn’t catch..
3. Add the tomatoes and stir well, then add the coconut milk stirring well to mix..
4. Add the chickpeas and simmer the curry for 20-30 mins until the sauce has reduced and thickened..
5. Add the peas, cook for a further 5 minutes, stir in fresh lemon juice to taste (I added a tbsp) then serve and enjoy 😊.

I like to serve this chickpea curry with steamed white rice, but it's delicious with naan, brown rice, or just as is! This is Thai curry, so naan doesn't really fit in the picture, but it's the extra sauce is practically screaming for some bread to get dunked in it. The best thing about curry is that you can really add in whatever you like. Mildly sweet from the peppers and coconut milk, and slightly spicy from the Thai curry paste and red pepper flakes. Some of the other dishes I look forward to trying are: Wild Blueberry, Rhubarb & Hazelnut Crisp, Roasted Veggie Lentil Salad with Avocado Balsamic Dressing and the Caramel Banana-Oat Pancakes.
