Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 15 oz cans canned chickpeas
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 large onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger
- 1 red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 15 oz can canned diced tomatoes
- 1 13.5 oz can coconut milk
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water. Set aside.
Heat coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Finely chop the onion and add it to the pot. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Mince the garlic and ginger, and add them to the pot. Cook for another minute, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
Chop the red bell pepper into small pieces and add it to the pot, cooking until it starts to soften, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, and cayenne pepper, and cook for another minute until the spices become fragrant.
Add the canned diced tomatoes, ensuring to include their juices. Stir to combine all the ingredients properly.
Pour in the coconut milk and stir until the mixture is well combined.
Add the drained chickpeas and stir to ensure they are well-coated with the sauce.
Season the curry with salt and black pepper. Cover the pot and let it simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While the curry is simmering, chop fresh cilantro and cut the lime into wedges.
Once the curry has thickened and the flavors have melded, remove it from the heat.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your Whole30 Chickpea Curry.
