    Summer Creamy Coconut Chickpea Curry With Rice

    Summer Creamy Coconut Chickpea Curry is a sweet and mild curry recipe, which is served over a bed of steamed rice and topped with some Lemon juice, Sour Cream, and Onion Rings, and chopped Chillies. This is an easy and comforting Chickpea dinner recipe that can be served with Coconut Rice or Naan bread.

    The Summer season means an easy and lazy dinner which I can cook in no time. This Creamy Coconut Chickpea Curry has a sweet and coconutty taste to it. Also, the mild use of spices - cumin, salt, and pepper, actually helps bring out the authentic flavors of Chickpea and Creamy Coconut Milk.

    I don't even use Curry powder or Turmeric or Cayenne Pepper in this recipe. Although, I am aware that many people use all of these, especially Curry Powder in making a Coconut Chickpea recipe.

    I think that's totally unnecessary. Moreover, Curry powder is more of ground Coriander, which actually mellows down the punch of Cumin. So, I never use both these spices together, especially in a Coconut Cream Curry. Have you tried my Golden Chickpea Curry and My Chickpea Tikka Masala recipe yet?

    Let's talk about the Taste

    This Creamy Coconut Chickpea Curry has a simple, earthy, sweet, and coconutty flavor to it. It feels so comforting! Also unlike the typical Indian Curry recipe, this one lacks the heat of the spices, but that's balanced by the sour cream, the lemon juice, the onion rings, and the chopped green chilis.

    This Coconut Chickpea Curry has a creamy base to it and tastes amazing with some rice or naan bread.

    How to make Creamy Coconut Chickpea Curry

    So, to make this sweet and simple Coconut Chickpea Curry, you start by heating a wok or skillet and adding some Canola Oil to it. Next throw in some whole spices such as Cinnamon sticks (broken) and 1 Bay leaf.

    As the bay leaf starts to turn brownish, add the Chopped Onions, followed by the chopped garlic. Cook these two until they turn light brownish. Add salt, ground black pepper, and Cumin at this point and mix well.

    Next, add in the canned Chickpeas and the Coconut Cream. It'll be thick. Don't worry, when you mix it'll soon thin out and create a creamy texture. Also, add some Heavy cream to it and season with some more ground black pepper.

    Cover cook your Coconut Chickpea curry for 5 minutes and you're done.

    Serve it over a bed of steamed rice along with some Lemon juice on top, some Sour Cream, a few Onion rings, and some chopped green chilis.

    See it's that easy!

    Is this Creamy Coconut Chickpea Curry Healthy?

    Yes! This is absolutely healthy recipe. This is made without Turmeric or Curry Powder or Cayenne Pepper. This just uses 1 spice which is Cumin. So, what you'll have is an earthy and sweet recipe. Creamy Coconut Chickpea Curry is a healthy, sweet, and creamy curry recipe. It's so easy to make and makes for a wholesome Indian dinner recipe.
