Vegan Chickpea and Kidney Bean Coconut Curry

When you’re short on time and want to put something warm and nourishing on the table, this is a very quick, easy and budget-friendly curry AND it’s plant-based!

It’s a hit with my daughter who usually likes to have some sort of animal protein in her hot meals, so I’m extra pleased to be able to add it to my recipe collection.

I adapted a recipe I tried from an official German Thermomix® magazine to suit my tastebuds. As much as I love chickpeas, I didn't want so much of it and there's no added sugar in my recipe. The spices I use are ones that you're more likely to have in the cupboard. If you don't have Garam Masala, just sub in equal amounts of curry powder OR 1 part cumin + 1/4 part all spice.

If you don't like kidney beans, add other types of beans like navy. And if you want to add any other type of protein (animal or plant-based), just sub the same weight of a tin of drained chickpeas or beans (250g per tin).
