Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (15 oz each) canned chickpeas (no salt added)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1 inch piece ginger, minced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium tomato, pureed
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 lemon, juiced
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly with water and set aside.
In a large, deep pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté until it turns translucent, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the minced ginger and garlic to the onions and cook for an additional 2 minutes, until fragrant.
Lower the heat slightly and add the pureed tomato to the pan. Cook until the mixture thickens slightly and oil begins to separate at the edges, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the ground cumin, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and garam masala. Cook for 1 minute, ensuring the spices do not burn.
Add the drained chickpeas to the pan, mixing well to coat them with the spice mixture.
Pour in the water and season with sea salt. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover the pan and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the lid and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the curry to thicken, if necessary.
Finally, turn off the heat and stir in the fresh cilantro and lemon juice.
Serve hot, ensuring each serving is garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
