Chickpea Curry with Coconut Cream and Fresh Apple Juice

Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

This creamy chickpea curry gets a surprising twist from fresh apple juice, which cuts through the richness with a subtle tanginess. You'll start by sautéing aromatics and spices, then let everything simmer gently for about 30 minutes, so it's hands-off once you get going. The whole dish comes together in under an hour and works beautifully with toasted bread on the side.
