It’s time for another Meatless Monday! I hope you are as #ExcitedAboutFood as I am today! I am happy to introduce my simple yet incredibly delicious chickpea tomato curry that only takes a handful of ingredients to make.

Curry Powder

There is a big reason why curry has been a chosen staple meal in many cultures for several centuries.

Because it’s so delicious!

Okay, maybe there is more than one reason! Not only is it warm, tasty, and inviting, but it also provides powerful health benefits that you may not even know about.

For example, did you know that curry powder contains lots of antioxidants? And in most cultures, curry powder is actually a mix of different spices, which can include:

• Cinnamon
• Ginger
• Fennel
• Cardamom
• Turmeric
• Basil
• Red Pepper
• Coriander

These are all ingredients that are proven to have a lot of health benefits to help the body’s digestive system. It also can reduce inflammation, so if you’re suffering from a bit of arthritic pain, eat a bunch of curry, and you are guaranteed to feel better.

Bonus Health Benefit: Curry with a lot of turmeric in it can actually help with blood sugar control, which is good news for diabetics.

Chickpeas Vs Garbanzo Beans?

Yes! This one bean has many different names depending on where in the world you are from. In most parts of the world, it is known as a chickpea, while some nations refer to the legume as a garbanzo bean.

Scientifically, they are the same plant. So, the next time you are at the store shopping for these beans, you’ll know that two names can mean the same thing!

Chickpeas are extremely high in protein and can add a lot of fiber to your diet. In this recipe, we show you how a can of chickpeas can be transformed into an entire delicious meal for you and your loved ones to enjoy.

Chickpea Nutrition

These magical beans are guaranteed to make you feel full, even when you eat only a little bit. They also give you all the nutrients you need to have a healthy day.
