Stir-frying is the quick-cooking method that brings this curry dish to life in about 20 minutes. The addition of chickpeas makes this vegetarian recipe a complete meal. If you want to add an animal protein, choose cooked, cubed or shredded chicken. Stir your chicken into the skillet in the last 5-7 minutes of the cook time to simply reheat. Using coconut milk makes the curry sauce rich and slightly thick. Be sure to always stir canned coconut milk before using it to make sure the cream is mixed into the milk. Have some sriracha chile sauce on your table to amp the heat of this dish, if desired. Steamed basmati rice makes a wonderful addition to this meal.
