COCONUT CHICKPEA CURRY ✴️
With all this cold weather we’ve been having (in jhb) why don’t you cook up some warm curry for the family 🥰
I was very happy with the outcome of this curry especially because I made my own Garam Masala 😎!
* 2 tbsp coconut oil
* 1 large onion
* 1 can diced tomatoes
* Salt & pepper to taste
* 1 can chickpeas drained & rinsed
* 2 garlic cloves minced
* 1 ½ tbsp garam masala - ( 1 tbsp cumin, 1 ½ tsp coriander, 1 ½ tsp cardamom, 1 ½ tsp black pepper, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ tsp cloves, ½ tsp nutmeg) If my memory serves me correct it made exactly 1.5 tbsp
* 1 tsp curry powder
* 1/4 tsp cumin
* 1 can coconut milk
* 2 tsp coconut flour (optional)
* Cook your Cauli-rice / basmati / brown rice according to packets
In a deep pot over medium-high heat, add the coconut oil.
Add in the onions & tomatoes, salt & pepper, stir together. Lower heat to medium & allow to cook down until the onions are soft, about 10 minutes.
Add in the chickpeas, garlic, garam masala, curry powder & cumin. Stir to combine.
Add coconut milk & stir again. Add the coconut flour which helps to slightly thicken the curry. Bring the curry to a boil, & then reduce to medium-low so that the mixture continues to simmer for 10 to 12 more minutes.
Taste the curry and season with salt and pepper if you desire.
Enjoy!
