This slow cooker coconut chickpea curry recipe is a delicious twist on my favorite chicken curry recipe.  It’s sweet and spicy and so dang delicious.

Slow Cooker Coconut Chickpea Curry

I made this meat-free curry when I prepped and froze five vegetarian meals for my crockpot and it was so yummy that I decided it needed a blog post all of its own.  I don’t think I’ll ever get sick of the spicy perfection that comes from using store-bought curry powder.  It’s so easy and delicious all at once.

Since there’s no meat in this dish, it’s a very budget-friendly meal. And, the chickpeas are so hearty that we didn’t miss the meat at all.  Add some rice or naan on the side and dinner is done.

I did. I didn’t chop my onions in small pieces so they were still hard so after 4 hours on high in the slow cooker I set it for 8 mins on high manual pressure cooker. Onions were still crunch, next time I will mince them. Great recipe. Interesting because it’s sweet with a hint of spice. I like it!

This is a STAPLE in my household. Only get better with time. I never use the slow cooker though. I just throw it in my dutch oven and let it simmer for 30 minutes to an hour. I serve over rice or with naan (or both if I really want the carbs!). I love making a huge pot and eating it over and over again for lunch the following week. It’s also such an easy meal to scale up for guests! Thank you for bringing this into my life. 😀
