Chickpea Curry, an (almost) perfect one-pot meal

I am sooo lucky to have had the opportunity to share flats with indians while I was studying in the UK. I was smart enough to ask them to teach me some of those divine recipes and now I can make my own indian dishes living in Brazil. Indian food is the best!!!❤

[@gina1195]

I loved the "used to get made fun of for my house smelling like curry....You guys wish your houses smelled like curry " comment! Made my day!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

☺️ ha! I wish I had said that when I was kid!

[@angela_somanythings5670]

I have used curry in literally almost all of my cooking for the last 12 years and am a bit used to the smell and slightly yellowed items here or there by now 😅🤣

[@MeiLanhuan]

My parents both love to cook foods from various countries orgin and in my childhood days therefore our apartmemt (and obvioulsy also my clothes) also smelled like spices - I remembered now when you mentioned it, this was noticed by my childhood friends as well. Now as an adult I am living in a country where we have big shops only for spices and it is like paradise for me I feel like a happy kid when I enter these shops 😊 & I am so happy I grow up with a love for cooking and trying out new recipes❤

[@ketanshah6613]

I still have some american friends who say things like “oh that spices shit smells a lot” or if i enter the room “you smell like curry, did you have dinner”

[@MR-ub6sq]

@@RainbowPlantLife I also have thoughts about this "I wish I would have said that when I was a kid", but I did it once: I live in Finland and we have snow and frost always in the winter. My mother always sent me walking to school and in the cold I had to wear a beanie. I didn't take it off until I got into school. Once on the other side of the road was a guy known as "tough" who shouted across the road to me: "Does your head freeze when you wear a beanie!" I told him, "Actually NO - because I'm wearing a beanie!" He never came back to it. And I was satisfied that I told him according to the facts of physics LOL btw: Nisha is beautiful!

[@snlarini99]

Finally somebody mentioned warming up the stainless steel pan dry! When I first started using stainless steel THIS WAS THE TIP that kept me persevering because caramelisation = flavour

[@RainbowPlantLife]

For the longest time I was like “I just can’t use a stainless steel pan, it sticks too much.” Learning this was a game changer!

[@cak8132]

I have never heard about warming up a stainless steel pan before. Great tip!!

We went whole-food plant-based nearly two years ago, and this is definitely in the top 5 recipes we've made. Truly incredible flavors!

I am a student who isn't allowed to have cooking setup at my place. But not being in a position to cook doesn't deter me from watching these amazing cooking videos just for how satisfying it is.

Get one of them plug in pots

[@kiki-ky9xz]

I was told the same for most cooking setups but I was allowed an induction stove, you should see if that could work

[@RainbowPlantLife]

This is one of reasons I didn’t live in a dorm in college…I was only allowed a mini fridge, no cooking equipment 😤 I hope that once you’re able to do some cooking, you’ll find inspiration in my videos!

Try the induction. Can't eat cheaper than cooking for yourself.

Stopping by for the first time. I love the bubbly personality! When my house smells like curry it is like walking into a big hug; so warm and comforting.

[@madelinegarcia7493]

OMG!!!!! I made this recipe, and it was a hit!!!! I am Mexican and my husband is from Punjab India he couldn't believe I made it because it reminded him so much of his mom's cooking 🥰! I def enjoy watching your videos and soon will try another recipe.

[@rgjhn1248]

I watched the video yesterday and after a long day today I needed something to eat that was comforting, indulgent and still healthy. Voila, it's all of the above! It tastes exactly how it looks in the thumbnail and it's to die for! Thank you so much ❤🤗🙂

[@worthjennings1676]

NISHA! I have followed you for a long time and your recipes are a favorite in my house. I just watched your jackfruit curry vid from 3 years ago when you first quit your job to become full time food expert. I am amazed at how joyful you look now versus then! You're very brave to make the career change you did but just judging by the joy in your face now, your bravery is paying off! Thank you for keeping my belly and my heart full!!

[@Dominibiza]

I am French but I lived in London for a while and some of my favorite food was Indian. Even the Indian take away were so good ! I love your recipes and you sell them so nicely. I will definitely try most of them, I love spicy food and those are the kind of meals I love, healthy and tasty.

[@carriejorgenson1352]

I absolutely LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE the smell of curry! I worked in homecare for a period and I helped a family that made (they were Pakistani) food from scratch EVERY DAY. All vegan. Roti, dal, you name it. It opened my eyes and my taste buds to a world I never knew existed!!!!!! I have to say it is a cuisine like no other. It goes to your soul!

[@yoginc]

Pakistanis making vegan food?? Wha...!

[@sandracarli1110]

@@yoginc I also cook with a Paki friend and since I'm vegan, he cooks vegan. The only surprise for me was the time the dish needed to be ready. As an Italian, I can cook pasta in no time. It took him 4 hours to prepare Pakistani food but of course it was great.

[@newyorkslim2001]

[@tmnprlsaicntr]

This was a beautiful experience watching you make that precious curry! Oh yes, I would use an entire heaped teaspoon of coconut sugar. You will never taste the sugar but it just balances out all the flavours and brings them together.

[@sandygrow5698]

I actually made this recipe last week when I saw it on your blog and it was FANTASTIC!

[@1000buffalos]

This is amazing. I have cooked various Indian dishes for 40+ years, but this is a blast of flavor and freshness that really shines. Since I have chronic kidney disease, I have to leave the salt pretty much out of the recipe, but it doesn't matter, it is terrific as a low sodium meal, and that's hard to find in restaurants or prepared food. I pressure cooked my own chickpeas, and used cherry tomatoes right out of garden. Wonderful!

[@danielcj1978]

[@MisterJeffy]

If you use canned tomatoes and want them to dissolve into the sauce, use whole peeled tomatoes. Cubed or diced tomatoes are treated with calcium chloride to prevent them from breaking up.

[@shepherdsrun]

Did not know that. Thank you.

Made this late-night, didn't have the chilli or the fresh green. Used homemade masala from previous meals and small cauliflower florets. It's very similar to a spicy chickpea recipe my wife uses, so she kinda kept me right. Definitely getting chilli and chard/ kale to make next time. Good video, be checking out more.

[@Youve_GotABeard]

WINNER!!! This is just dynamite. Even though I’ve made it now 5 times in the past month, I have to return to comment how divine this is. If you’re an experienced cook of Indian cuisine you know how perfect the symmetry of the flavours are here. Once I also added some kasturi methi leaves (dried fenugreek), very nice!

[@maxpavlovsky]

I was making similar stuff, but with red lentils. When paired with rice it creates a wonderful dynamic of very flavorful, spicy stew and somewhat bland rice that helps cooling the tongue if the dish is too hot or large amounts of chili are used

this was great! i couldn't get a hold of curry leaves unfortunately but it was still very tasty. it took me roughly an hour from starting to finishing gobbling it up. i used cherry tomatoes cause they tend to taste alright in winter and i used kale, which was tender after around 8-9 minutes. can definitely recommend to use both mint and cilantro cause yum yum that stuff tasty :) thanks for sharing accessible indian inspired vegan cuisine, i've cooked many of your recipes!
