Lately I've been craving curries. Just the thought of a big bowl of my Vegan Thai Coconut Soup with Naan Bread, or even a curry in the form of a big sandwich like my Thai Green Curry Sandwich and I'm already hungry.

And today we add a new stunner to this, friends!

Drum rolls: here is my Lentil Chickpea Yellow Curry. It is seriously the best curry ever, no joke, no kidding or false exceptions.

It is a mouthwatering dream in a bowl, warming, curry infused, satisfying, full of flavor, creamy, drool-worthy, and so addicting.

I guess you are hooked now! So I will tell you what to do to enjoy this beauty:

Heat a large casserole. Use a bit coconut oil or just vegetable broth for frying the onions and garlic.

Do this for at least 3 minutes, before you add coconut milk and lentils, yellow curry paste. Then cook this for 20 minutes - please not longer. We don't want the ingredients mushy or overcooked.

Just 5 minutes from the end, add chickpeas.

Last easy step: Choose your optional add ons and customize your curry to your liking. Serve into bowls and enjoy!

One remark about the yellow curry paste: please make sure the one you use is vegan friendly. Check the ingredient list as I always do, so you can be sure.

In the end, you will seriously have the best curry you've ever make.

The combination is the key: just 6 easy pantry staple ingredients and 2 easy steps you have this ready. And all your options are countless, you can choose your favorites to build your dream bowl.

Cooking this according to the ingredient list, this will make a really big batch, friends.

But no worries, if you have leftovers, they taste even better the next day. This is a dish you can take with you to work, serve it at potlucks, get togethers.

On cozy nights, it will warm your soul, thanks to the infused curry flavors.

I served this recently at a potluck on the evening for dinner. Just whip that all together in no time and bring it on. All my friends were hooked and so in love with this curry.

So this is the dish you can serve your pickiest meat loving friends, for real. I don't meet a person who doesn't love curry.

You can serve this plain, with rice, quinoa or with my favorite, the Roasted Garlic Naan, which is vegan, glutenfree just 6 ingredients and done in 10 minutes, so this is a keeper, less effort for maximum taste, friends.

Enjoy a big bowl all the time of my Lentil Chickpea Yellow Curry
