Vegetarian Chili

A healthy and delicious vegetarian beans and chickpeas chili with lots of vegetables and spices. This is a perfect weekday lunch or dinner recipe to enjoy with family.

Chili is an American dish influenced by Mexican flavours. When you have canned beans in your pantry, chili is super easy to make. We like our chili as such just with a dollop of sour cream but you can always pair it with some bread, toast, croutons, or anything you would like to.

This week my theme for Blogging Marathon is Easy weekday lunch recipes and vegetarian chili is one of my favourite dishes to make on busy weekdays. As it is super simple and filling dish, my family loves it. I am very late in posting this week’s recipes, this post was supposed to go live on Saturday but due to unplanned trekking to Comrac Mountains(thanks to the sunny and warm weather), we had a busy weekend.

  1. The name Chilli reminds nds me of Vegas airport , where I ordered Chilly Fries ! I was shocked as I was expecting Fries with some spicy chilly sauce or something on those lines ! Ha ha !
    The bean Chilli looks wonderful !
