Five Minute Chickpea Curry
I'm all about the simple, delicious, quick meal, Athletes! Like you, my week gets busy fast and if I don't prepare in advance, I end up getting by on whatever I have on hand.
At the beginning of the week I usually prepare a pot of black beans or garbanzo in my pressure cooker so I can have fresh legumes on hand to throw in my salad, burritos or curry!
So here it is, the quickest way to a delicious, 100% plant-based curry that involves the most minimal ingredients. This dish does not last as a left-over in my house! My kids go bananas every time I make it! Enjoy xx
