Coconut Chickpea Korma. An easy to make simplified version of this vegetarian coconut chickpea korma that makes a great side dish or satisfying meal served with rice or naan.

Easy Coconut Chick Pea Korma

This coconut chickpea korma is a favorite recipe of my son, Noah. His favorite Indian foods include tandoori chicken, samosas and this delicious, easy to prepare, chick pea korma.

Drain and rinse canned chickpeas well.

If you have more time, consider cooking dried chickpeas for this recipe.

It makes a great side dish for an Indian meal like our delicious Butter Chicken. Or as a satisfying lunch all on its own with some homemade super quick and easy Yogurt Flatbreads.

Noah loves any curried chick pea dish and this one got his stamp of approval. We enjoyed the leftovers the next day even more, I think.

Serve with steamed jasmine rice .
