This is Vegan Curried Chickpeas recipe fits perfectly into the easy weeknight meal category! It requires very little cooking & prep, uses pantry staple ingredients, and is pure comfort in a bowl.
I absolutely love a big cozy bowl of curried chickpeas with coconut milk, cashews, and fresh chopped vegetables. This curried chickpea stew recipe is a fantastic easy weeknight meal, ready in no time.
We make a ton of different curries in the winter months – especially ones like this which are warm and have a good amount of spice. This vegan curried chickpeas stew is a bright & filling dinner recipe that is loaded with plant based protein, flavorful spices, and a creamy broth.
The coconut milk gives this curry a creamy texture, while the fresh lime juice packs a real punch! Garnishes are optional but 100% recommended – I love piles of fresh cilantro on anything, so its a good excuse to load up!

What’s In This Vegan Curried Chickpeas?
- No Salt Added / Low Sodium Chickpeas: one of my favorite pantry staple ingredients! You can use canned chickpeas (I’d highly recommend a low sodium or no salt version), or you can make your own chickpeas from scratch in the Instant Pot.
- Diced Tomatoes: I only use no salt added diced tomatoes, these boxed tomatoes are really great to stock up on! I like boxed tomatoes better because they are BPA free and more eco-friendly than aluminum cans. If you haven’t read about the dangers of consuming foods stored in BPA cans, head over to Nutrition Facts to read more.
- Coconut Oil: I always keep a few jars of this organic coconut oil on hand, it’s great for cooking and baking. If you make your own beauty products, it also makes a fantastic skin moisturizer too!
- Red Onions
- Coconut Milk: I use unsweetened full-fat coconut milk, which I’d definitely recommend over lite coconut milk. The flavor makes this dish super rich and creamy without any dairy.
- Curry Powder: is a great flavor booster to soups, stews, and lentil dishes like this one! I love this mild curry powder which has a great taste. You can also use a curry paste if you have some on hand.
Meal Prep Chickpea Curry Any Time!
This recipe is great because it makes a lot of leftovers too, so we can have it a few times during the week, so it can definitely be a good Meal Prep option for a Sunday night. Plus its ready in about a half hour, so making this after work on a weeknight is an option! I also made a list of my favorite meal prep products on Amazon that I use weekly. They make cooking easy.
Make Curried Chickpeas Vegan for a Healthy Version
This vegan curried chickpeas stew is a simple way to get extra veggies in your diet. I’m all about making recipes plant-based when I can. Vegan cooking does NOT have to be bland, boring, or flavorless… It’s quite the opposite when done right. By building meals around vegan pantry staples and swapping in a few plant-based ingredients you can make healthier meals for you and your family. I made a list of my 125 favorite vegan pantry ingredients that we use on a weekly basis, and check out all my vegan recipes here that are on The Herbeevore.
