This easy Chickpea Zucchini Curry is a winning dish. Simple ingredients paired with fresh herbs for a flavorful curry combo you won’t be able to get enough of. It’s so easy to make – just one pot and 25 minutes for a super satisfying, filling and healthy dinner.

This curry is also very versatile. You can swap out the veggies with your favorites to suit your personal taste. This is good even if you can’t find all the ingredients you should use in the supermarket. This Zucchini Chickpea Curry can be made in many different ways.

Experiment with the different ingredients. My suggestions for substitute vegetables and variations:

  • Almost any vegetable goes well with this chickpea curry recipe. Instead of zucchini, add bell peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, etc. You can also add things like the spinach if you like.
  • Use different herbs. If you don’t have fresh chives or cilantro on hand, you can substitute parsley, basil, or chopped green onions. There may be a slight taste difference. The same goes for using dried herbs BUT in a pinch.
  • Add more protein. If you want a higher protein meal, consider adding some firm cubed tofu. Maybe seared first.

Ingredients for Zucchini Chickpea Curry

  • Thai green curry paste – this can be found in the ethnic food section of most grocery stores or online.
  • Coconut Milk – You can substitute heavy cream or unsweetened plant-based cream for this if you prefer.
  • Vegetables – zucchini, peas, chickpeas and ginger. However, you can also prepare this recipe with other vegetables.
  • Chickpeas – cook them yourself or buy the canned ones.
  • Oil – I use coconut oil, but other vegetable oils can also be used.
  • Herbs – coriander, but also chives, parsley, basil and/or spring onions.
