Comfort food – chickpeas in curry sauce
Chickpeas in curry sauce, which I prepared recently, is an excellent, filling and fragrant dish. It has another asset: it is extremely swift to prepare. In a few minutes we have perfect, energy-giving and yummy comfort food. Chickpeas contain a lot of valuable nutrients: iron, zinc, potassium, phosphorus and vitamin B. Chickpeas are a rich source of dietary fibre and amino acids, which are similar to amino acids from animal protein, and nonsaturated fat acids. It is a great product for people who don't eat meat.
If you have enough time or you plan the dinner early enough, you can cook the chickpeas yourself. If you (like me) prepare the dinner at the last minute, use tinned chickpeas. Don't pour out the liquid – aquafaba. Use it to make a swift chocolate mousse, meringue or brownie.
