What Ingredients Do I Need?

• Cooking Oil Spray– choose your favorite neutral cooking oil. This will be used to coat the bottom of your pot before cooking the diced onion.
• Medium White Onion – diced
• Garlic Cloves – minced
• Ginger Paste – you can use freshly grated ginger if you prefer.
• Curry Powder – most store-bought curry powder blends do not contain salt, but you’ll still want to double-check.
• Ground Cumin
• Red Pepper Flakes
• Kosher Salt
• Black Pepper
• Chickpeas – canned chickpeas, rinsed
• Vegetable Broth – unsalted
• Canned Diced Tomatoes
• Coconut Milk– (unsweetened, unflavored)
• Lime – juiced
• Cilantro, to taste (for topping)

Why Do Chickpeas Need to be Rinsed?

Rinsing chickpeas reduces the sodium content; most canned beans contain a salty starchy liquid that prolongs the shelf life. You want to rinse them in cold water.

What is Curry Powder?

Curry powder typically contains a blend of turmeric, ginger, garlic, cumin, coriander, fenugreek, bay leaves, celery seed, nutmeg, clove, and red pepper.

How to Make Vegan Chickpea Curry

• Spray the bottom of your pot with you preferred neutral cooking oil spray, and heat one minute over medium heat. I personally like avocado oil spray.
• To the pot, add the diced onion, and cook until translucent
• Add the minced garlic and ginger paste, cook for an additional one minute. 
• Next, add the curry powder, ground cumin, red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir well. Note: you may opt to blend all of the seasonings prior to beginning, so that you can add them all at one time.
• Add the chickpeas, vegetable broth, tomatoes, coconut milk, and lime juice. Stir well and allow to come to a gentle boil.
• Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid and allow to simmer for an additional 20 minutes.
• Taste and add additional salt if desired.
