Creamy Chickpea Curry – Rich, Flavorful, and Vegan
A quick and easy chickpea curry meal that is both healthy and delicious.
Ingredients
- 540 ml chickpeas canned
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup crushed tomatoes
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp curry powder
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp salt or more to taste
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp minced ginger
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp cumin ground
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Add the garam masala, curry powder, turmeric, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), ground cumin, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the onions and release the spices’ flavours.
- Add the crushed tomatoes and stir well to combine, then let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
- Add the drained chickpeas and coconut milk. Stir well to combine. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the curry simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Add salt and lemon juice to taste. Stir well and let the curry simmer for another 2-3 minutes to balance the flavors.
- Remove from heat, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, and serve over basmati rice or with warm naan bread.
