Here I am back with another amazing vegan curry recipe. Vegan Chickpea curry / Chana Masala is slightly different from our regular chana masala. Made with coconut milk it is so amazing and finger licking good. Goes well with any flatbread or rice. I love curries with coconut milk or cream. It is so flavorful and a delight to eat. Everything when eaten in moderation is ok. This is a completely vegan recipe.
