Veggie Curry in a Hurry

Published on May 5, 2019 by Stephanie Kay

There is nothing like a quick and easy meal after a long day at the office and this veggie curry with chickpeas and coconut milk is exactly that. This healthy recipe is packed full of fiber, veggies, and plant-based protein.

Veggie Curry in a Hurry

I’m going to be honest, posting this as a recipe might be a bit of a stretch, but I really wanted to share it because I think it’s an important reminder of how easy eating well can actually be. I share a ton of recipes on my blog that is made from scratch with fresh ingredients, but I think it’s important to remind ourselves that eating well doesn’t always need to involve a ton of work.

These days, there are so many prepared store-bought items that you can find in the grocery store that are high quality and made of whole foods, and using those to your advantage is SO helpful when you are busy. When time allows, you can certainly chop your own veggies, soak your own chickpeas, and make your own curry paste, but when time is of the essence, there is absolutely nothing wrong with using frozen veggies, canned chickpeas, and prepared curry paste! They are all still whole foods, someone has just done a little bit of the prep work for you, and that is certainly something that I can get behind.

So, the next time you are about to order takeout, have a look in your pantry and take 20 minutes to whip up this veggie curry in a hurry! Trust me, your body (and your wallet) will thank you.

  3. Add frozen vegetables and toss to gently coat in curry paste.
