Peach and Chickpea Curry
Jack Monroe · A Girl Called Jack
This is my favourite curry, my go-to, easy but perfect comfort food. I used to make it with turkey - a large drumstick would serve four people easily (pre-roast the drumstick and just peel the meat off the bone) - but now I use chickpeas instead so it's a deliciously wholesomely vegan dish. I soak my chickpeas overnight, or first thing in the morning for that evening. You can use tinned ones to speed things up, but they are usually more expensive. Serve this gorgeous fruity curry with simple plain boiled rice. These quantities make dinner for 2 people with enough leftovers for lunch.
