Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons curry paste (red or yellow preferred)
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (optional, for sautéing curry paste)
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water to remove excess sodium and starch. Measure out the curry paste and coconut milk.
  2. Sauté the curry paste (optional): Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the curry paste and stir for 1-2 minutes until fragrant to release the flavors. This step is optional but enhances the taste.
  3. Add chickpeas and coconut milk: Pour the rinsed chickpeas into the saucepan followed by the coconut milk. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  4. Simmer the curry: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Cook uncovered for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.
  5. Season and serve: Taste the curry and add salt as needed. Serve hot over steamed rice or with warm flatbread for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer and creamier curry.
  • Adjust the quantity of curry paste based on your spice preference.
  • Feel free to add vegetables like spinach, tomatoes, or bell peppers for added nutrition.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free and vegetarian.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
