"eat real food to enjoy real good life"
A simple, budget friendly, versatile and quick curry recipe to prepare and make dinner in no time with a rich and delicious taste. In this recipe I used chickpeas but i love the variety of dishes you can make with this sauce as base. I use the same recipe to make chicken curry from chicken leftovers, fresh chicken breast is perfect too or with white beans, which is a staple food I have either in my pantry, cans, or homemade in the fridge. You can also make a vegetarian dish with cauliflower or bell peppers.
This is the kind of food you want to have on your menu repertory either because you want to eat a real home cooked meal done in less time or you have friends over and they stay for dinner. This recipe is a sure card to use as long as you have your staples as tinned tomatoes, canned legumes or frozen veggies. It is a light recipe and a great add to a diet plan.
Simple to make with great results, home cooked light delight!
