Curries are, in my opinion, the easiest vegetarian friendly one pot meal. You almost always have left overs and the flavor is totally better the next day!
I took a lil’ different spin on this traditional thai dish by adding an indian flare. I added some chickpeas and substituted quinoa for rice for a protein packed meal.
Chickpeas are high in fiber and are a great protein option for vegetarians.
