Let’s see all the simple ingredients you need to make this creamy chickpea curry vegan and gluten-free!
- Konzerv csicseriborsó – a can of csicseriborsó is about 15 oz, and it’s the fastest way to make an easy chickpea curry. Open the can, drain the chickpeas over a sieve and rinse quickly before using them in the recipe. If you want to use dried chickpeas, read my paragraph below on cooking dried chickpeas for a curry recipe.
- Canned Coconut Cream – not coconut beverage! Canned kókuszkrém or canned coconut milk is thicker and usually doesn’t contains additives like sugar or thickener. That’s why canned coconut products are the best option for making a thick coconut curry sauce.
- Hagyma – I tend to use frozen onions. It makes it so much easier for me. No need to cut an onion!
- Fokhagyma – either fresh crushed garlic (my favorite option), or powdered garlic.
- Paradicsom szósz – this helps thicken the sauce.
- Canned Diced Tomatoes – one can is about 15 oz.
- Spices – the combination of spices is the key to a tasty, fragrant curry: Paprika, Cumin, Curry powder – you can swap the last one for garam masala for classic Indian curry flavors.
- Olívaolaj – I use extra-virgin, low-flavor olive oil to avoid adding too much taste.
- Só és bors or chili powder.
- Friss gyömbér – You can also use powdered ginger, but it’s not as tasty!
- Fresh Lime Juice – You can of course use bottled lime juice, if that’s all you can find.
- koriander – Or replace it with fresh Italian flat parsley if you don’t like cilantro flavor.
How To Make Vegan Chickpea Curry
The best vegan chickpea curry recipe is creamy, with a thick tomato coconut sauce, full of fragrant spices and soft chickpeas.
- The first step to making the best chickpea coconut curry is to prepare the sauce. A curry sauce always starts by cooking onion, garlic, and ginger over medium heat in olive oil.
- When the mixture is fragrant, and the onions are brown and soft, stir in spices and tomato paste and keep cooking. This will form a thick, fragrant curry paste.
- Frying the spices in olive oil with tomato paste enhances the curry sauce flavor and helps to thicken the sauce without adding starchy flours.
- Stir in the liquid ingredients to dissolve the curry paste and form a creamy sauce.
- Add in canned coconut cream or milk, canned diced tomatoes, stir, and continue to cook until sauce is bubbly and simmer.
Zöldségek hozzáadása
Now that the sauce is ready feel free to add some optional vegetables. Add 1 or 2 cups of soft and hard vegetables following the recommendation below. Soft vegetables below cook well in the sauce and don’t require pre-cooking.
- Spenót levelek – if they are large, roughly chop before adding or adding frozen spinach.
- Padlizsán – peel, and chop into small cubes.
- Diced capsicum – any color works well.
- Peas fresh or frozen
- Gomba – feet removed, sliced.
If you want to add harder vegetables, make sure you steam or roast them before, or they won’t cook well in the sauce. Some of the best vegetables to add to curries are:
- Karfiolvirágzat
- Burgonya – peeled, diced in small cubes.
- Édesburgonya – peeled, diced in small cubes.
- Brokkoli virágok
Finally, stir in the canned chickpeas and continue cooking for 20-30 minutes or until cooked chickpeas.

This turned out really good! I used dried chick peas that I presoaked and cooked most of the way, half a medium sized red bell pepper and added baby Bella’s and some roasted cauliflower. I had plenty to freeze. I hope it thaws well. Thanks!
Thanks for the lovely comment! It thaw very well, you can place the frozen batch in the fridge the day before and rewarm in a saucepan the next day. Enjoy! Carine
