Vegan Indian Butter Chickpeas

Vegan Indian Butter Chickpeas. Savoury, delicious, creamy and vegan. The perfect pair to some steamed basmati rice. Great for dinner or lunch.

This is one of my favourite ways to cook chickpeas. I love making stewing the chickpeas in some dairy-free Indian butter sauce that is all homemade.

This vegan butter chickpeas does require quite a few ingredients, specifically when it comes to spices but it is totally worth it because when you cook with spices, you'll enter FLAVOUR TOWN!

I think that's one of my favourite things about vegan cuisine. It is not reliant on spices to flavour a dish. It's reliant on the spices and other ingredients that you use to create a tasty profile.
