Trader Joe's Coconut Chickpea Curry, 284g

Within the vast spectrum of culinary traditions and regional specialties that fit under the umbrella of Indian cuisine, we find that one through line tends to connect them all: a masterful balance of flavours, textures, and aromas. That’s certainly the first thing our tasting panel noticed about TJ’s Coconut Chickpea Curry, the latest addition to our collection of Indian Fare pouches. Made with a relatively simple recipe that includes coconut milk, chickpeas, chopped veggies, and spices like turmeric, cinnamon oil, and dried curry leaves, this heat-and-eat Curry achieves a remarkably complex, yet beautifully balanced mix of flavour, texture, and aroma—and all after a single minute in the microwave, or a few minutes submerged in boiling water.

Packed inside a convenient, shelf-stable pouch, this creamy, savoury, and rich Coconut Chickpea Curry can be enjoyed as a standalone meal for one, with or without a bed of Basmati Rice, or as part of a larger, Indian-inspired spread alongside other favourites like our Tikka Vegetables and Kitchari. We find that with its ease of preparation, and the fact that it can be stored at room temperature, it’s great for keeping on hand for last-minute weeknight dinners, easy weekend lunches, or, if you’re a fan of the great outdoors, toting along on camping trips and backpacking excursions.
