chickpeas,pumpkin and mushroom curry(vegan, vegetarian).

chickpeas, pumpkin and mushroom curry(vegan, vegetarian).

In this vegetarian recipe, you are going to be taking your regular chickpea and pumpkin curry and making it a wholesome healthy one-pot meal with more flavors.

Since button mushrooms go well with chickpeas and pumpkin, it makes sense to add them to this coconut milk-based curry.

Inspired by Indian vegetarian curry.

The recipe inspiration for this chickpea-pumpkin curry comes from Indian curries I’ve cooked at home.

With the consistency of a stew and the button mushrooms with its meaty texture, this vegetarian dish is a regular dinner option in my meal plans for the family.

So if you are wondering what to do tonight or planning your meals for the week, try this mixed vegetable curry for a change.

How I served the mixed vegetable one-pot meal.

When you make this vegetarian/vegan dish, you’ll be making more than you need for a single meal.

Since I knew there will be extra, I transferred half of the portions to a foil container, froze it to serve on another day.  

Serve this saved portion of the mushroom, chickpea and pumpkin curry with rice.

Can I replace canned chickpeas and mushrooms with fresh ingredients?

Yes, you can.

I’m using canned mushroom and chickpeas as I want to make this curry a quick meal but you can use fresh ingredients as well.

If you are going to use fresh ingredients then you will need to soak the chickpeas overnight.
