What You Need

  • 2 Zavor & Co gluten-free arepas

  • 1 can chickpeas, drained

  • ½ cup coconut milk

  • 1 tbsp curry powder

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • Fresh cilantro

How to Make It

  1. Sauté garlic in a skillet with a drizzle of oil, 1 minute.

  2. Add chickpeas, curry powder, and coconut milk. Simmer 10 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.

  3. Toast arepas on high in the toaster, 2–3 cycles.

  4. Spoon coconut curry chickpeas over warm arepa.

  5. Garnish generously with fresh cilantro.

About This Recipe

Coconut milk curry chickpeas draw from South Asian and Caribbean cooking traditions — both regions where coconut and warming spices have been pantry staples for centuries. On a Colombian arepa, it becomes a genuinely global dinner.
