Hearty Okra and Chickpea Curry

When you think of okra and chickpeas, you don’t immediately think of decadence.

You might just think of healthy, nourishing, and maybe if I’m honest, a bit boring. But, okra and chickpeas are a remarkable pair in this creamy, indulgent curry that comes together in a snap.

Given I’m in Thailand (at the time of writing) — a country known for its spicy curries, I figured it would be a good idea to take advantage of some of the local ingredients, and come up with a mouthwatering curry recipe. Chickpeas are not a common staple here in Thailand, but okra, coconut milk, and ginger are pretty easy to find!
