This Broccoli Chickpea Curry is a dinner staple that's so quick and easy to make! It's loaded with veggies and protein and has a secret ingredient to make it extra rich + creamy. It's gluten-free and vegan, too.

I’ve been making this broccoli chickpea curry for a few months now when I want an easy, rich, and filling meal. It has quickly become a fast favorite of mine and of course, it makes amazing leftovers too.

Every time I shared it on my stories when I was cooking it at night, you guys would always ask for the recipe. But of course, it was night, the light was bad, and I couldn’t photograph at the moment. So I’d inevitably forget, until the next time I made it…when a bunch of you would ask again.

Finally, I remembered to make it in the morning to photograph for you guys, and it’s HERE!!! One of my favorite dinner recipes can now be on your table, too.

This recipe is inspired by a curry I got from a farmer’s market stall where they were selling West African food – it was a broccoli sweet potato and peanut curry, and it was so luscious and creamy and absolutely swoon-worthy. I got home and set out to recreate a similar version for myself.

Let’s make Broccoli Chickpea Curry!

I kept things pretty simple, with lots of veggies, lots of spices, a can of coconut milk, and the secret ingredient – peanut butter. There’s not enough in there to make it overwhelmingly peanut butter-y, but it adds this richness to the curry that’s so good. It also helps thicken it up a bit, making a nice creamy sauce.

As opposed to the farmer’s market version that inspired this, I went for chickpeas instead of sweet potatoes to add some protein. I also stirred in some fresh spinach right at the end, for a pop of green and extra nutrients.

I love serving this curry with:

  • Rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice as a base
  • Fresh lime juice
  • Chopped peanuts
  • Microgreens

It’s so hearty and fills you up without making you feel overly full! 

If you’re as much of a curry fan as I am, I hope this will become a staple in your house too. I think you’re going to love it! Let me know in the comments below if you try and what you think, and be sure to tag me on Instagram if you share a picture there! xoxox

    It’s cold on the north coast of Lake Erie so it was a perfect day to cook this awesome recipe, again. The recipe was followed exactly, including the cayenne pepper for an added kick. The first time we put the stew over rice, this time we put it over noodles. This has been added to my ‘recipe folder.’

    Any suggestions for substitutions for the peanut butter? I want to serve this to a crowd, so I want to be sensitive to nut allergies. Thanks! Sounds delicious!

    So delicious. Thank you!
    I added green beans as well as I like to increase the number of vege per meal. Worked perfectly.
    I didn’t have coconut milk, so used coconut cream instead, very tasty. Had it with quinoa and brown rice.
