Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 medium red onion or yellow onion, diced
- 14 ounces fresh or canned tomatoes, diced (400g)
- Sea salt & ground black pepper, to taste
- 16 ounces canned chickpeas, drained & rinsed (454g)
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 ½ tablespoons garam masala
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- ¼ teaspoon cumin
- 13.5 ounces canned coconut milk (383g)
- 2 teaspoons coconut flour (optional)
- Juice of 1 small lime
Instructions
- Heat the oil and sauté aromatics: In a deep pot over medium-high heat, add the coconut oil. Add the diced onions and tomatoes, season with sea salt and ground black pepper, then stir together. Lower the heat to medium and cook until the tomatoes release their juices and the onions become soft, about 10 minutes.
- Add chickpeas and spices: Stir in the drained chickpeas, minced garlic, garam masala, curry powder, and cumin. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
- Incorporate coconut milk and simmer: Pour in the coconut milk and stir the mixture again. Add coconut flour if using, which helps thicken the curry slightly. Bring the curry to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and let it simmer gently for 10 to 12 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and curry to thicken.
- Season and finish with lime juice: Taste the curry and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Remove the pot from the heat, squeeze fresh lime juice over the curry, and stir to combine. Let the curry cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- This recipe is an easy, one-pot vegan curry that’s perfect for meal prep and budget-friendly dinners.
- Using coconut flour is optional but helps thicken the curry for a creamier texture.
- Don’t skip the lime juice at the end—it brightens the flavors wonderfully.
- Feel free to substitute canned tomatoes with fresh if you prefer.
