Does your family have a Meatless Monday tradition? Eating at least 1 meatless meal a week can help your budget and your health. In our house we typically have 2-3 meatless meals a week, not just to save money but because we enjoy it. Eating veggie packed meals helps me feel better and are typically very easy to prepare.
Curry is a difficult thing to photograph, not the most appetizing of pictures and I know this is not a dish for everyone. If you enjoy ethnic foods I encourage you to give this a shot. I love the flavors in this dish and the ease of making it in the crockpot. For those days that you are craving another cuisine, but don’t feel like heading out this chickpea and potato curry is your answer.

I love that this can be made in a slow cooker!
Makes it so easy
This sounds delicious. We don’t do Meatless Monday every Monday, but we try to do it a lot. I always need more options for it and this looks like a good one. Chickpeas are so tasty and so filling.
I love chickpeas too! I don’t have my husband totally on board, but he’s coming around
I love curry so much! Chickpeas are up there on my list too. I’ll have to give this one a try.
Curries are so amazing and ones done in the crockpot are even better! We try to do meatless meals too, especially in the summer when so much good produce is available.
We have a Meatless Friday, where we just eat fish or chicken and veggies and avoid meat. I love curry so much, especially when they are even more spicier.
What if you don’t have a crockpot? Can you just put it in a pot?

Elizabeth, I haven’t done it, but if you combine everything in the pot and cook on medium or medium low until the vegetables are soft it should turn out similar. I don’t really know how long, possibly an hour or more.
Wow, looks like I should invest in a Crock Pot!
I love my crockpot!! They aren’t too expensive and I bet if you looked around a bit you could find a used one from a thrift store or garage sale for cheap. Great for fix it and forget it meals. Plus it makes a lot of leftovers so my husband has lunch all week long.
