This curry is the kind of meal that makes you forget you are eating something completely plant-based. Chickpeas simmer in a rich coconut milk sauce seasoned with curry powder, turmeric, and ginger until everything is deeply flavorful and incredibly comforting. Serve it over rice and you have a meal that satisfies on every level.
