I love curry dishes. Do you? Last night I got the idea to do a chickpea curry. I already have a pumpkin coconut curry on my blog. Since I love chickpeas, I really wanted to include chickpeas in a curry dish. That is how this chickpea curry was born.
Chickpea Curry Lettuce Wraps
I decided to put my chickpea curry in lettuce wraps. So I sent my husband to the store for romaine lettuce. He came back with this red leaf lettuce you see pictured. I think the red leaf lettuce worked fine, but I wanted to let you all know my original vision was a romaine lettuce wrap. Honestly, I think this chickpea curry is great on its own, or in the lettuce wrap. It’s a great way to get some turmeric in your diet, too. This dish is vegan and gluten-free. I hope you enjoy it.
