How to Make Sweet and Spicy Chickpea Curry Over Rice

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at TAMU chapter.

I was really surprised with how this came out so I had to share it. This dish tastes amazing, it’s easy to make, and it will make you feel like a professional chef. I usually eat very simple foods like beans and rice, but sometimes I want something different. I whipped this up and loved it. The result is a savory, sweet, and creamy chickpea curry over rice.

It may make sense to replace some of the harder to find ingredients with items you already have in your pantry. If you can’t boil your own chickpeas, canned would do the trick and also save you some time. You can use a tablespoon of sugar in the place of the liquid Stevia. And lastly, corn starch is a simple replacement for tapioca starch.

Hello! My name is Kevin Kiefer, and about three years ago I had the goal of losing some weight, but I didn't want to eat plates of food that tasted so bland. This is what made me want to learn to cook different foods that were tasty and nutritious. I slowly gathered different ideas for recipes online and made some of my own. I now have my own set of simple recipes at my disposal, making it easier to survive on more wholesome foods in college. Now I want to share my ideas with other people struggling to eat healthier foods while going to school.
