One-pot meal – Vegetable Chickpea Curry
Sondi Bruner, the women behind the blog The Copycat Cook, is a holistic nutritionist, food blogger and freelance writer. We are so pleased to share one of her awesome recipes with you.
Recently, one-pot meals have been making a comeback in my house. When made with a variety of vegetables, legumes, herbs, spices and whole grains, they’re a deliciously simple way to get dinner on the table.
This curry was warm, soothing and flavourful, with plenty of nutritious ingredients. The chickpeas add protein and fibre, the mushrooms lend a meaty texture and flavour, while the Indian spices offer an array of anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant nutrients.
