Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
  • 1 (13.5-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar (or maple syrup)
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Cooked rice or naan, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat coconut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the garlic and ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
  5. Pour in the pumpkin puree, coconut milk, and vegetable broth. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  6. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
  7. Stir in the drained chickpeas, salt, and sugar. Cook uncovered for another 5 minutes, or until the curry has reached your desired thickness.
  8. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt or spice if needed.
  9. Serve immediately over rice or with naan bread. Garnish generously with fresh cilantro.

Notes

  • Jacob suggests using fresh ginger for the best flavor profile.
  • If you prefer a thicker curry, simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes.
  • For a richer texture, substitute half of the vegetable broth with unsweetened almond milk.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free and dairy-free.
