Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed (about 1 inch pieces)
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk (canned)
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne pepper, if using. Cook the spices for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes, chickpeas, cubed potatoes, and vegetable broth. Stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Stir in the coconut milk, salt, and sugar. Cook uncovered for another 5 minutes, allowing the curry to thicken slightly.
- Taste and adjust salt if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.
Notes
- Serve this curry over basmati rice or with warm naan bread.
- For a thicker curry, mash a few of the potato pieces against the side of the pot before adding the coconut milk.
- If you do not have fresh ginger, use 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger.
