Chickpea curry sounds yum - how do you make it?

Well the "bunch of stuff on a plate" meal is easy to make vegetarian. I call it that, but its really just a meal with no real "main dish". So, a bag of grapes, some carrot sticks and ranch, cheese and crackers, pickles, etc all go in the lunch bag, no sandwich or wrap or main dish type item. Bento style lunches seem to be similar, for us we have no fancy bento style box so grapes are in a ziploc, sliced cukes in a repurposed butter tub, etc.
