Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
2 (15 ounce) cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 cup vegetable broth
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne pepper if using. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
Pour in the diced tomatoes (with juice), coconut milk, and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Stir in the rinsed and drained chickpeas.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.
Notes
For a thicker curry, remove the lid for the last 5 minutes of simmering.
If you prefer less fat, you can use light coconut milk, but the texture will be thinner.
