Chickpeas and chicken! A parent-child curry (lol). It's delicious and healthy, so give it a try.About this recipeI adapted a mild chicken curry, a flavor my husband says Japanese people love, by adding chickpeas.

This recipe is based on the chickpea curry that is published in the international recipe book, "Bean Book". Although this curry is for vegetarians, beans are a great source of protein and highly nutritious.Since the original recipe is vegetarian, I use olive oil, but you could substitute with butter.The cinnamon stick is used to add fragrance. If you don't have a cinnamon stick, substitute with about 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Recipe by crann

I love chicken and I love this dish!(Remember to make it spicy)

It was 100°F (38°C) when I made this mildly spicy, hearty dish in a futile effort to summon Autumn 😂. Yes, it’s probably better suited for Fall, but it has an amazing flavor and is nutritious, too! I didn’t think my young daughter would like it, but she did!The ingredient list looks a little long, but don’t let that deter you. The prep is fairly easy and it comes together quickly once you have the ingredients ready. This recipe is definitely going into my regular rotation.Note: You can make this dish vegetarian by omitting the chicken and adding another can of chickpeas.This recipe was modified from “The Real Food Dieticians.”#GlobalApron - Week 24.

I had some massaman curry paste but no potatoes or peanuts, so I used chickpeas instead.

You can add coconut milk instead of milk. I was out of it. So I tried to substitute it with milk & it turned out okay. If you want you can add a few cinnamon sticks, crushed cardamom & cloves, few minutes before turning off the stove. Tomato can be avoided if you don't like it.

Chickpeas have a soft, chestnut-like texture and can be eaten on their own or added to salads. They hold their shape well even after cooking.Benefits of Chickpeas:1. Nutritional BoostEating chickpeas in moderation provides plenty of plant-based protein and various amino acids, which are easily absorbed and utilized by the body, helping to boost metabolism and support organ function.2. Weight ManagementChickpeas are a healthy food high in protein, low in fat, and low in calories. Their dietary fiber helps break down and metabolize fat, making them a great choice for preventing weight gain.3. Supports Healthy Blood Pressure and Blood SugarThe potassium in chickpeas helps the body process sodium and regulate adrenal hormones, keeping blood pressure stable. Chickpeas are also low in sugar, which can help promote insulin secretion and improve glucose tolerance.This recipe simmers chickpeas with curry for a nutritious breakfast, but it's also delicious on its own.

This is a very fragrant dish and if you don't have whole spices such as cinnamon sticks, you can use ground (so you don't have to worry whether they'll get in your bowl). However, I find that whole cardamom pods and fresh ginger are a must
