I actually used light coconut milk in the dish but it still tasted decadent!
I jotted down the ingredients and measurements of everything as I cooked just in case our dinner ended up tasting good enough to share and I realized that this dinner is both vegetarian and vegan. And delicious!
I loved the blend of flavors of ginger and curry and the crunch from the chopped cashews. This meal was also quite filling!

What a great idea for coconut milk! Looks great!
Looks so delicious! I love anything with curry. The cashews are a nice touch!
Oh my goodness Julie, that looks delicious! Love that it is vegan too, def giving it a try 🙂
Oh wow! Sounds delicious and relatively simple to make! My boyfriend isn’t too into the vegan/vegetarian thing, but I think this dish might be a winner for him.
Trying this for dinner! Love when I have all the ingredients already at home woohoo! Thanks for the recipe.
Curry is something I love but never cook with! I don’t know what, but this looks really good!
Coconut and curry are two peas in a pod. They are just amazing together. This dish looks super tasty. Definitely saving it.
Surprisingly coconut milk is good in chili. Sounds weird, but I added a bit for my last batch and it tasted so good!
I looove curry + coconut milk. It’s so creamy and flavorful! I also love accidentally vegetarian/vegan meals because meat it expensive and gross to touch raw.
I like the addition of the cashews in this!
I just started experimenting with curry powder so I’m definitely going to have to try this! It sounds delicious!
This recipe excites me and is getting bookmarked ASAP! Any recipe that involves chickpeas, curry, AND is vegan has to be a total winner. Thanks for sharing :).
Ooh, nice. My fiance and I are both vegetarians, and we’ve been talking about making a dish with coconut milk. And something like this would be perfect.
Anyone know if Trader Joe’s still carries a light coconut milk?
They do! That is where I’m planning to buy mine to make this. 🙂
I madecilantro lime rice with coconut milk last week and omg…it is so creamy and delicious! I’ve been meaning to try it out ever since seeing you use it quite a bit lately. I’ll have to try this one out as well!
Looks like such an easy recipe!
Did you use the coconut milk in a can?
Oops- just saw that you did specify can! Nm!
I also love this recipe! I have been on such a curry kick recently!
This looks so good! I love coconut milk, and really want to start using it in different recipes. I love the fact that even though it’s vegetarian/vegan, the ingredient list and the prep work is still relatively simple!
This looks amazzziiinng! I’ve been obsessed with coconut milk recently so definitely bookmarking this 🙂
Coconut milk is one of my favs!! And anything with curry is awesome too. YUMMMMM!
This looks yummy. Mmm, I love coconut milk!
Yum, this looks delicious! I love coconut milk, and chick peas are one of my favorite vegan protein sources, so I’ll definitely be giving this recipe a good ol’ college try! 😛
I’m loving cashews lately and this looks FANTASTIC!
Oh yum! I love coconut and ginger and curry plus I’ve recently started eating more meatless meals so this recipe is perfect for me! I can’t wait to give it a try 🙂
Yum that looks so good! I love having coconut milk in dishes. Bring on the sweet and salty! 😉
This looks delicious- about how many servings does it make?
Mmmmmm I love curry!! We just had it the other night–so so good with coconut chips too 🙂
I have to say that light coconut milk is too watery for me. I’m hooked in the regular stuff and it makes for a killer Tom Kha soup, give it a whirl if you never have!
I haven’t cooked with coconut milk in such a long time! This makes me want some Thai Food, but I think their curry is a little bit different from the regular curry powder we’re used to.
I nannied for an Indian family and I’ve been wanting to try curry – I’m just too afraid!
Oh that does look quite tasty! Did you use frozen broccoli or did you chop fresh? I know sometimes when I use frozen it can get watery…
You’re killing me with all this amazing food!
This looks sooo good! I am going to make this very soon! Thanks for sharing!
This looks fabulous! I have to pass this on to my stepmom, she’s obsessed with coconut everything!
I had some chick peas with my lunch salad today. I always forget how much I love them. This dish looks delicious!
Great recipe! You used canned coconut milk. Do you like that better than like silk coconut milk in a carton? I think canned is thicker?
This looks so delicious! Thanks for sharing. P.S. I think I have the same plates! 🙂
YUM. Cashews are the bomb.
I’ve never tried coconut milk in anything but oatmeal. This sounds great!
YUM!!! Looks delicious! Have you tried making chocolate mousse with coconut milk?!
Yum!! Now I want curry for dinner!
I love cooking with coconut milk and curry. Such a good combo!
Oh wow. This looks amazingly delicious and EASY! Will have to try for sure. Pinning = Winning
This recipe looks great, I’d have to sub something in for the chickpeas but it looks so delicious!
I love cooking with coconut milk and curry and this recipe looks delish. I always buy the light coconut milk because it’s still decadent and rich tasting.
I love coconut milk as well! I use it in everything!
Yum!!!! I love anything chickpea/curry/coconut!! Saved this to pinterest so I can make it at some point. Thanks for sharing!
I am making this tonight, it smells delicious so far! Thanks for the recipe! 🙂
