Chickpeas slow-simmered in a spiced tomato and onion gravy until they soak up every bit of flavour. It is the plate we point vegetarians toward, but it holds its own next to any meat dish on the board — hearty, filling and properly seasoned. Served with rice, and even better with a hot naan alongside.
Finding a satisfying meatless meal in small-town eastern Manitoba is not always easy, so we keep Chickpeas Curry on the board year round. Chickpeas are simmered in a tomato and onion base with ginger, garlic and ground spice until the gravy thickens and clings to every one of them.
It is a genuinely filling plate — the kind of food that sets you up for an afternoon of hiking, fishing or driving. Vegetarian guests staying at the motel, and plenty of regulars from Seven Sisters Falls and Lac du Bonnet who simply like it, order it with rice or naan and finish the bowl.
Onion and tomato are cooked down first, the spices go in to bloom, then the chickpeas simmer long enough to take on the flavour instead of sitting in it. Medium heat by default — let your server know if you want it milder and the kitchen will adjust.
Start with our vegetarian Samosa Platter while the curry is cooking, and add plain or garlic naan for the table. If someone in your group wants something creamier, Butter Chicken is the mild option that keeps everyone happy. Call (204) 348-3106 for pickup, or see the whole vegetarian-friendly line-up on our menu page.
