Instant Pot Butter Potato Chickpeas. This Indian dish is flavourful, filling and vegan! It is the perfect meatless meal for dinner and great as leftovers!
This butter chickpea potato curry one of my favourite ways to have chickpeas. Smothered in a variety of spices that are aromatic. I love the creamy texture of the potatoes in combination with the legumes. They pair so well together.
If you're not a big fan of chickpeas, like me, then this Indian potatoes chickpeas recipe is the way to eat them! I find that they are delicious in Indian Butter sauce or in a curry form. The sauce really breaks down the texture of the chickpeas and the spices mask the smell that chickpeas give off.
If you don't own an instant pot, not to worry, you can use a normal pot but please read my tips if you cook with a normal one.

No. You may use a normal pot for this Indian potato chickpea curry. However, you will have to adjust the time so that the potatoes and chickpeas are cooked through.
