Yes! Long ago, I once walked my grocery aisle in confusion. I couldn’t find chickpeas anywhere… until it finally dawned on me; chickpeas and garbanzo beans are the exact same thing. And, more often than not, they are referred to as “garbanzo beans” on the label! 😉 CAN YOU USE LIGHT COCONUT MILK IN CURRY? Can you? Yes, you can do anything your heart desires when it comes to making this recipe. Should you? That’s another story. I highly recommend using full-fat coconut milk whenever you’re making curry. Due to the fat content of traditional canned coconut milk, the curry always ends up creamy, perfectly rich, and flavorful. I would go as far as saying it’s practically essential to the recipe! However, if you need to follow a low-fat diet, you can indeed use light coconut milk instead. (But, trust me, full-fat coconut milk makes a big difference!) WHAT VEGGIES GO WELL WITH CURRY? Feel free to add more vegetables to this chickpea curry recipe! It’s quite easy to add veggies to any curry dish. Simply toss the vegetables in along with the crushed tomatoes. I recommend chopped zucchini, eggplant, broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, or sliced bell peppers. Additionally, you can add leafy greens during the final step and cook them until wilted. WHAT SHOULD I SERVE WITH CURRY? Personally, I think curry should always be served over basmati rice and garnished with cilantro. You can also serve it over a baked potato, naan bread, or enjoy it all on its own! Other delicious garnishes include red pepper flakes, lime wedges, cashews, and peanuts. CAN YOU FREEZE CHICKPEA CURRY? Yes, you can! Allow it to cool before storing away in an airtight container inside the freezer. If you have leftovers, simply place in the refrigerator where it will remain fresh for up to two days.
