Rebel Recipes - Mixed veg curry with chickpeas & veggie basmati rice

Serves 4 45 min

A recipe by Niki Webster, aka Rebel Recipes. We sent her a large veg and fruit box and asked her to make us some veg-centric recipes to bring some colour to your plate.

“For me, a curry or soup is one of the best ways of packing as many vegetables into one delicious meal as possible. Combined with some chickpeas or lentils, it makes the perfect one pot meal. Here I've served with a fluffy basmati rice with sticky onions, fennel, and lots of grated carrot (I think you'll love it). Enjoy! Love, Niki xxx”
