Background
This chickpea and bell pepper curry can be served as a main dish with rice/flatbread or fits well in an Indian, Middle-Eastern style menu. Also, it’s ideal for vegans, vegetarians and the health-conscious as it fits in most diets. Most importantly it’s delicious and super easy to make. I make double amount and freeze the leftover for another meal.
