I love stews in Winter, actually all year long, but it just feels warm and comforting in the Winter season. Stews may sound like a lengthy recipe that calls for many ingredients, but the coconut chickpea stew is actually super simple, vegan, high in proteins, and does not require crazy ingredients.


The coconut milk adds a creamy and silky texture, the addition turmeric gives it a beautiful yellow color and enriches the flavor (on top of the anti-inflammatory nature of the plant), and it can be served either with rice (I go for basmati) -- which can be enjoyed with chopsticks -- or pita / naan bread, or just by itself as a soup, in which case you can choose to increase the amount of liquid (water) to give it a more soup-y consistency.
