A delicious Easy Vegan Chickpea Curry recipe made with savory Indian spices. One pot and ready in 10 minutes. Naturally vegan, oil-free, and low in fat.

Easy Vegan Chickpea Curry

This recipe is super simple to make and can be ready in as little as 10 minutes!

I love Indian food and one of my favorite dishes is Chana Masala. A chickpea dish made with tomatoes and spices. I’m also very fond of Thai curries because of the sweetness from the coconut. So, I decided to try and make a “hybrid” by combining the two. And, guess what? Pure awesome!

Most curries are very high in fat and use oil in the recipe. But, I opted to use unsweetened almond milk and eliminate the oil. It’s not as thick, but no less delicious and much healthier. And, to add that little bit of sweetness – maple syrup.

Easy Vegan Chickpea Curry

The spices are the magic formula for this dish. Adding them to the onions and garlic in the beginning allows them to roast and release all that flavor. So, stick to the script and follow the instructions just this once. We cool?

Easy Vegan Chickpea Curry

You can serve this curry all by itself as a soup. And, it’s delicious. But, pair it with rice to make a very hearty and satisfying meal.

Easy Vegan Chickpea Curry

This Easy Vegan Chickpea Curry is full of flavor, low-fat, healthy, simple to make, satisfying, and so delicious! And, I’m convinced you’ll love it.

It’s the perfect mid-week meal because it’s hearty and you can get it to the table quickly. You’re welcome.

Description

EASY vegan chickpea curry recipe with Indian spices that is super easy to make. One pot and ready in as little as 10 minutes. Naturally vegan, oil-free, and low in fat.


Scale

Ingredients

  • ½ red onion (chopped)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 Tbsp. curry powder
  • 1 tsp. cumin powder
  • 1 tsp. ground coriander
  • 1 tsp. ground paprika
  • 1 tsp. dried ginger
  • 1 14- ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 1 14- ounce can of low sodium or no salt added chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 Tbsp. maple syrup
  • ½ tsp. ground black pepper
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  2. While pan is heating combine curry powder, cumin, coriander, paprika, and ginger into a small bowl and whisk together. 
  3. Once pan is heated add onions and garlic along with a couple Tbsp. of water. Cook until onions are soft. Usually, just a couple minutes.
  4. Sprinkle the dry spice mixture over the onions and garlic. Mix well until spice mixture covers onions. Let cook for about a minute. Adding a little water as needed to prevent sticking.
  5. Add the tomatoes, chickpeas, almond milk and stir well to combine. Let simmer for a couple minutes. 
  6. Reduce heat to medium low heat. Add maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Simmer for a few more minutes.
  7. Remove from heat and serve over rice or by itself as a soup.

Notes

*If you like your curry a little thicker, combine 1 Tbsp. arrowroot flour with 2 Tbsp. water. Mix into a slurry and stir in to the curry at the end of cooking. 

*This is ready to eat immediately, but the longer you let it simmer, the more the flavors will settle. If you can wait, let it sit over night and reheat the next day. AMAZING!

    Oh wow,this recipe was so yummy!! I was a bit skeptical about adding in the maple syrup but I’m so glad I didn’t omit it. It was so quick to prepare and both hubby and son loved it! We’ve just started our journey into the whole food plant based diet so it’s very exciting to try new dishes and realise you’re not missing out in any way(and being Indian…realising you can actually cook without oil ?). Going to try the chocolate mousse out next ?. Thanks for sharing your delicious recipes!

      I just made this for dinner. I had to tweak it because I didn’t have red onion or curry powder. I don’t know much about spices and thought tumeric would be a good substitute. Well it wasn’t so I added lime juice. I used white onion instead of red onion and I added peas to give a splash of color. I loved it!! I can’t wait to try it with curry powder.

      Do you have an equivalent measurement for the amount of chickpeas? I make my own from dried ones because cans usually have salt added and take more room to store in the cupboards. Would this work with cashew milk? It’s all I have at the moment.

      Reply
      • Shane Martin

        January 07, 2020 at 10:25 pm

        Sure thing, Ann! Cashew milk will absolutely work and each 15-oz. can of chickpeas equals about 1 1/2 cups. I hope this helps.

    So simple, and I loved that it used ‘regular’ ingredients that I already had on hand.
    I thought it tasted fantastic without the maple syrup, so I actually hesitated before I added it – I am just not a fan of sweet stuff in general and I was worried it might ruin our lunch.
    But I added it anyway and it took the dish to a whole other level – not sweet at all, but much ‘softer’ Really yummy.
    Thanks a lot for another easy recipe with regular ingredients that just works.

    I doubled the recipe just so we were able to meal prep for a few days.

    I’m from the Caribbean and made this recipe to the letter a few times. Wonderful! The next few times, however, I added scotch bonnet pepper (we like spicy food) and “shadow benny” aka culantro (that’s right – not cilantro), doubled the spices, chickpeas, onions, and garlic, used fresh ginger instead of powdered, and added fresh veggies (chopped baby spinach, green peas, yellow and purple carrots, and broccoli). I also splurged with the fat and used real coconut milk. Tasted great that way too! I served it over a wild rice/black barley/daikon radish seed medley. Oh my yum yum! iThanks for the recipe! It’s one of my favorites! The chickpeas can be swapped for anything – goat, chicken, veggies – so this will be a new base in my “toolbox”.

    amazingly easy vegan curry! i didn’t have any almond milk on hand so i subbed in coconut milk and omitted the maple syrup (i find coconut milk to be quite sweet already) and it was wonderful!! the first night i had it i was a tad rushed and didn’t let the chickpeas soften up all that much or give the flavors time to meld (it was still delicious) so i popped it in the slow cooker the next day for a couple hours and that totally brought it to the next level! serve it with some coconut yogurt or cream (especially if you up the curry powder and add some chili powder), fresh cilantro and naan bread to knock it out of the park!!

      I would use full-fat coconut milk if you want the thickness. However, you can use cream, but it would no longer be vegan. If that’s not a concern for you, it’s definitely an option and should work just fine.

    I didn’t think I was a curry girl, but you may have converted me. This is great, and I’m sure it will be even better tomorrow. I might add a second can of chick peas! The only bad part is that I added Almond Breeze Coconut Almond Blend milk, and something caused it to separate…any suggestions on avoiding next time? It’s not a freshness issue, I had plenty in my coffee this morning and it didn’t separate. Tastes fine, just looks weird. I hope it’s ok to eat like that, because I’m on round 2. Also, what amount is your serving sizes?

      Hi, Sherryl! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I’m not really sure why the milk separated unless it had something to do with the blend. It’s totally fine to eat if you can stand looking at it:) Blessings and Happy New Year!!!

    I cannot stop making and eating this dish! My husband had it the first time I made it and while he liked it, it didn’t actually hit him until I made it the second time! I have never made anything so easy and flavorful in my life! I did not have any almond milk or diced tomatoes so substituted macadamia milk and stewed tomatoes……it is awesome! Thank you for creating such well thought out easy, and delicious food!

    This recipe is great! Followed the recipe and served over mixed brown and white jasmine rice with broccoli. I’m not a big fan of chickpeas or spicy food but this was amazing! I used 2 tsp cornstarch to thicken it up a little bit.

      Yes, to the coconut milk. But, I have not yet tried it in the Instant Pot. I see no reason why it wouldn’t work, but I would not cook it very long if using canned chickpeas. But, you have inspired to try something new:)

I made a quadruple batch as a dish to pass at a large family Christmas dinner and it was devoured! Everyone loved it and my husband was bummed out that there were no leftovers to take home. This is now in my frequent meal rotation at home.

    Absolutely delicious ! This will now be our go-to Chana Dal Masala recipe ! I was out of onions (sad day LOL ), so I added 1/2 teaspoon hing (asefoetida), and a half teaspoon of extra hot red pepper powder.
    Otherwise , we made as directed. SOOOOO good ! It made enough for two dinners for us (although it was hard not to eat it ALL LOL ), so we’re really looking forward to having it tonight after it’s had time to develop even more ! This will be in regular rotation — after we use the aquafaba for your cornbread (best cornbread EVER BTW), we will use the chickpeas to make this ! Thank you, Shane !

And I love how you can easily add veggies to it–I’ve tried spinach, kale, and last night it was cauliflower–and you’ve got a really complete dinner, especially when it’s all over brown rice. Thanks so much for making mealtime so enjoyable!

    This is the tastiest vegan dish I have ever made at home, and I make a lot (I’m vegetarian). I added carrots (fresh) and corn (frozen) and used fresh tomatoes and garbanzo beans instead of canned. Also added 1/2 tsp of turmeric, lemon pepper, went light on the cumin, and used red curry spice instead of regular. Used fresh ginger instead of dried. In the end, I wanted more sauce/soup so added another 1/2 cup almond milk and 1 extra tbsp maple agave syrup.
    Tasted amazing the next day, even cold. Ate with brown rice. Garnished with basil.
    The point is, even if you modify the ingredients a bit, if you follow the instructions, this dish is AMAZING.
    I dare you to cook this for you and a friend (too amazing to not share, although you may want it all for yourself like me. But you can always make more 🙂 )

    I love that this recipe uses simple ingredients that I (mostly) had sitting around the house. I didn’t have a red onion so substituted in a yellow one, and used oat milk instead of almond milk. The spice mixture was awesome – I’ll be stealing it to cook some lentils in soon because it was so good. I let the pan simmer until I couldn’t wait any longer (about 25 minutes) and it thickened up nicely. Next time I will also be doubling the recipe because I went back for seconds and had to fight my sister off from the pot so I would have leftovers for lunch

    Only tweak is that I found the final product to be a touch too sweet – will be halving the maple syrup next time, especially if I use a sweeter red onion.

    AMAZING! I’ve been vegan for 7 years and have decided to stop being a “junk food vegan” and really try to lose some weight. What an amazing recipe this is. Super low cal AND no oil. The portion size is HUGE and easily feeds four people. I didn’t have unsweetened almond milk, so I used a cup of light soy milk and omitted the syrup because the soy milk was lightly sweetened. I served it with some no oil roasted potatoes and it made a delicious bowl of food. So well done! I’ll definitely make it again!

Oh but I did use a touch of agave instead of syrup and canned coconut milk instead of almond milk bc my partner has a serious nut allergy. Everyone loved it even my picky 1 year old and super picky 3 year old!! I was worried it would be too spicy for them but I put it on top of some quinoa and they gobbled it all up!

    Delicious! And very easy to make. I appreciate that it’s oil free without a bunch of sugar and junk. I went heavier on all of the spices just because I like things with lots of strong flavor. And I liked the maple syrup in it for the sweetness. I’m going to keep this as one of my staple rotation foods. Probably will experiment occasionally with adding other things such as sweet potato, frozen peas, light coconut milk. I’m really really happy that I found this website.
