coconut chickpea curry
A tip,this recipe can be made vegan by substituting vegan butter with the ghee. I find this recipe goes smoother if you do 100% of all your veggie chopping and prep before you even begin heating the pan. The veggie prep is very time consuming on this one. I suggest naan as the dide, it goes perfect. Other than that,don't rush it. Slow. Loving care.
