Chickpea Curry (Chana Masala)

Ingredients

  • 1 Small Onion, diced
  • 4 Cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 T Coconut Oil
  • 2 tsp Curry Powder
  • 1 tsp Ground Coriander
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 2 – 15 oz Cans of Chickpeas (Garbanzo Beans)
  • 1 – 28 oz can of Petite Diced Tomatoes
  • 1 – 13.5 oz Coconut Milk
  • Salt (about 1/2 tsp or more) and Pepper (start with 1/8 tsp) to taste
  • 8 Cups of prepared rice & Cilantro (optional) for serving

Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat medium-sized pot over medium heat. Add coconut oil and onions.

  2. 2

    Cook until onions begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, curry powder, coriander, cumin and cook for about 30 seconds to release the oils in the spices. Work quickly here to avoid burning the spices and garlic.

  3. 3

    Add tomatoes, stir, and lid. Bring up to a slight simmer, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add chickpeas and coconut milk. Keep heat around medium/ medium low and stir often. Dish is ready to serve when chickpeas are hot – about 15 minutes.
