10 minute Chickpea Curry with Coriander Dressing
This lightly spiced, delicious and easy chickpea curry is packed with plant-based protein and can be whipped up in 10 minutes!

Need a delicious and nutritious meal in minutes, then this one’s for you. And we all have days like that, right?
All you need is some cooked chickpeas. I used organic tin chickpeas in water, some delicious spices and few tomatoes and voilà , a really delicious and satisfying meal.
If you have a little more time, and I mean a maximum of 5 minutes, then you can whip up my favourite coriander, lemon & tahini dressing, which completely elevates the meal.
As you know, I really think that crunch is important, so I topped everything with some of my delicious toasted sunflower seeds.
Quick, hearty and delicious! Enjoy x.
I hope you like this recipe, love Niki xxx
