Ingredients:
– 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
– 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
– 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
– 1 onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon curry powder
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon ground coriander
– 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish
– Cooked rice, for serving
Instructions:
1. In a large skillet or pan, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Stir in the curry powder, cumin, coriander, and turmeric. Mix well to coat the onion and garlic with the spices, allowing them to become aromatic, about 1 minute.
3. Add the drained chickpeas to the pan, stirring to combine with the onion and spice mixture. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
4. Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices, along with the coconut milk. Stir everything together, incorporating the creamy coconut milk with the tangy tomatoes and chickpeas.
5. Season the curry with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and the flavors have developed.
6. Once the curry has reached your desired consistency, remove it from the heat. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
7. Serve the 15 Minute Chickpea Curry hot over a bed of cooked rice, garnished with fresh cilantro for a pop of color and herbaceous flavor.
