I always consider it a win when Big Guy thoroughly enjoys a vegetarian meal.
It’s an even bigger win if it’s a Friday night. Chickpea Curry with Basmati Rice was a crowd pleaser. And by crowd, I mean, Big Guy and I really enjoyed this dish.
The recipe isn’t super complex. The chickpeas provide plenty of protein and you won’t even miss not having meat. The garam masala provides just the right amount of spice and a sprinkle of cilantro at the end gives a burst of flavor. Please, please, please use 2% fat Greek yogurt. It’s so unbelievable creamy and adds such depth to this simple super.
A glass of crisp Riesling made this meal complete.


Looks so delicious! And chickpeas are very versatile.
