Simplest Chickpea Curry

This is a recipe I make every week at least once. It's very basic, taking around 15 min, but is really hearty, healthy, and delicious...

Serves 2.

Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas (pref in brine)
- 1 can chopped tomatoes (I like the ones with capsicums)
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1/4 cup coconut cream (or whatever amount you prefer)
- optional: effort free veggies such as a handful of mushrooms, baby spinach or peas, none of which require chopping
- 1 tablespoon oil

Method
Briefly saute the curry powder in oil on medium heat for about 2 min. Add drained chickpeas and tomatoes and vegetables and simmer about 10 min. Add coconut cream, salt and pepper to taste.
Serve with brown rice.
