Slow Cooker Monday: Chickpea Curry
Monday, 11 April 2011
This is an easy and healthy vegetarian dinner you can spend a few minutes prepping the night before (chopping all the veggies), cook for a few minutes in the morning, and let your Crock Pot do the rest. Feel free to add different vegetables to suit your family’s preferences.
You’ll come home to a fragrant cloud of Indian spices. Cook up some quick rice and dinner is served.
Recipe:
Slow Cooker Chickpea Curry
- 2 T olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 inch of ginger, peeled and minced
- 1 carrot, peeled and sliced
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1 15-oz. can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2-3 t curry powder
- 1 t salt
- 1/2 t garam masala
In a small skillet, cook onion, garlic and ginger in olive oil until soft. Place in slow cooker with the remaining ingredients except garam masala. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Stir in garam masala.

This is a great dish – chickpeas love spice and I would be quite happy to lift the lid on a crock pot to be met with a heavenly cloud of Indian spices.

I wonder if you can use dry chickpeas… I wonder if it needs to sit overnight in water before cooking in the crock pot. If you have tested this method, let me know

Adelina – you could definitely use raw beans, soaking them overnight first.

Love the sound of this dish. I can’t get enough of chickpeas or curries or any sort. I would have to add a bit of chicken or something to make the man happy but this dish sounds awesome to me!

We made this for dinner today. Everyone liked it, even my picky son who was pleasantly surprised. Next time I need to double it.

Love chickpea curry! Yours looks like a good one, too, with the fresh garlic and ginger. The recipe I’ve been using lately also uses whole cloves (I’ve even tossed in whole cardamoms a few times) – give it a shot!
