Chickpea Quinoa & Tofu Curry

Chickpea Quinoa & Tofu Curry

w/ Rice Noodles

---

Warm curries make these cold days so much better! The best part about curries is that you can add whatever you like into them & they are easy to make with things around the kitchen. It doesn't call for a lot of ingredients & the flavor comes mostly from the spices. If you don't like coconut milk feel free to use vegetable broth.
