chickpea curry recipe with basil, coconut milk, and lime in white bowl

Chickpea curry is one of my favorite easy lunch or dinner recipes to meal prep for the week. I usually prepare a big batch on Sundays. Use whatever leftover veggies and/or protein you have. I love to make vegan chickpea curry with potatoes, spinach, and coconut milk. Sometimes, I make it stovetop, and other times I make it in the instant pot if I am in a hurry. With affordable ingredients, you can have yourself a quick easy dinner.

How long does it take to cook chickpeas

This depends on if you purchase dried or canned chickpeas. Dried chickpeas should be added to a bowl of water and left to soak overnight. This helps to soften the chickpeas and makes the cooking time faster. Canned chickpeas are cooked and ready to be served. Although, I will say I like to warm my canned chickpeas by cooking them on the stove. If I want softer then I cook them in the instant pot.
