Slow-cookin’ Sunday: Vegan Chickpea & Tofu Curry

21 Jul

Indian food is one of my absolute favs! So it’s natural that as a part of my slow cookin adventures, I’d make a curry. I’ve done quite a few meat recipes so I figured I’d try a vegan approach this time.

 

What you need:

2 cans of chickpeas

1 can diced unsalted tomatoes

1 cup diced carrots

1 tbsp chopped garlic

1 large yellow onion, diced

1 can coconut milk

2 tspn chopped ginger

2 bay leaves

1 tbsp curry powder

1 tbsp garam masala

2 tspn tumeric

2 tspn cumin

1 tspn coriander

1 tspn cracked black pepper

1/2 tspn cayenne pepper

2 tspn salt

dash thyme

1/2 tbsp brown sugar

dash cinnamon

2 7oz packages of baked tofu

Add all of your ingredients except the tofu to the slow cooker and turn the heat on low and set to 5 1/2 hours. curry0
