This curry can be made with various ingredients: chopped pineapple, mango or butternut squash, cauliflower, fresh or frozen spinach, carrots, and zucchini.

Curried chickpeas can be made with chicken for extra protein. However, you can add baked tofu and tempeh to make it vegetarian.

To make a Moroccan chickpea curried, add 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and a handful of dried raisins or chopped dried Apricots.

For a spicy Indian chickpea curry just double the Ginger. Serve with basmati rice and naan bread.

You can also serve the chickpea curry stew with spaghetti squash or baked sweet potatoes.

You can make your curry powder if you run out of curry powder, as I did with the tomato curry. Combine the ingredients to create authentic curry powder: 1/4 tsp ground coriander and 3/4 tsp ground cumin. 1/2 tsp turmeric and 1/8 tsp chili pepper.

Slow Cooker Tomato and Chickpea Curry

To prepare the recipe in a crockpot, increase the amount of all ingredients by two times. Cook on low for 4-5 hours or until the mixture becomes thick. Wait to add the spinach (if using fresh) until the end of the cooking time. Once the mixture is thick, stir in the spinach and continue cooking until it has wilted.
