Easy Butternut & Chickpea Curry

This post is sponsored by Knorr. All comments and opinions are my own.

I include a minimum of one meatless meal on my weekly menu. It’s my way of adding more vegetables to our meals AND saving money.

I will admit that doing this wasn’t met with cheers and smiles at first. But, once my guys realized that they would still get great tasting food, they were happy again. And now, some of their favorite meals are my meatless dishes!

One of their favorites is the Easy Butternut & Chickpea Curry that you see above. It’s hearty and packed with so much flavor you’ll never miss the meat.

I love it for the taste and how easy it is to prepare. Most of the ingredients are pantry staples here at my house so I really just need the fresh items and I can throw together a tasty meal in a matter of minutes. Plus, it’s a healthy meal that’s packed with veggies and with a few good ingredients choices, it can be low in calories and low in sodium too!

All of the veggies used are all naturally low in fat and calories. To help keep the counts low I opt for lite coconut milk in my recipe. By using lite coconut milk in place of the full-fat version, I get great flavor with much less fat and calories than the traditional coconut milk.

And when it comes to keeping sodium levels as low as possible, I choose Knorr Zero Salt Bouillon to add flavor with out the salt.

New Knorr Zero Salt Bouillon proves that zero salt does NOT mean zero flavor! Made with an expert blend of natural chicken flavor, vegetables and spices, this chicken bouillon gives you all the flavor with none of the salt. This powder bouillon is made with real vegetables, herbs and spices, like carrots, onion and parsley, and is made with absolutely no artificial flavors or preservatives.

It’s easy to use and packs great flavor into all your favorite meals and recipes. Right now you can try Knorr Zero Salt Bouillon and get savings at Publix. Clip the coupon from the Extra Savings Flyer and sage a buck on your purchase.
