My daughter made this Indonesian Coconut Chickpea Curry from scratch. I highly recommend trying this Medical Medium friendly recipe and even freezing the base of the recipe without the cauliflower, chickpeas or peas. Once you have the base made, you can add any veggies to it to use for a quick dinner over steamed vegetables or over millet, for example.
