    Coconut Chickpea Curry with Lime Rice - An easy and flavorful recipe which is ready in 15 min

    We both love all sorts of curry, especially on a cold day, it’s nice to eat something spicy. Everything I use in this recipe I already had in my pantry or in the freezer which is a big plus for me because sometimes you don’t want to leave the house.

    This dish is so easy to make, but the flavors are great. When you don’t have garam masala at home, which is an Indian spice mix, you can use normal curry powder but I recommend buying some if you plan to make more curries.

    And I think you will make more after you tasted my Chickpea Curry wit Lime Rice! Give it a try and tell me how you like it.

      I always loved this dish. Havnt made in years until now. I have suddenly encountered issues. Mine turns out way too liquidy with a can of coco milk and one chickpea can.. also why does my coco milk smell and taste so much of soap? Destroys the dish! :(

        Sounds like your coconut milk went bad, try using a different brand. I recommend using full-fat coconut milk for the best texture.
