Description
A delightful and quick stovetop vegetarian Indian curry that’s perfect for a satisfying lunch! This recipe is inspired by MrCurrys.com and features their fantastic curry seasoning powder for an authentic flavor burst.
Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas
- 1 onion
- 1-inch piece of fresh ginger
- 5 garlic cloves
- 1-4 teaspoons curry powder (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2-3 tablespoons water
Instructions
-
Saute Onions: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add finely chopped onions and sauté for about 3 minutes until they turn translucent and fragrant.
-
Add Aromatic Spices: Stir in finely minced ginger, garlic cloves, and curry powder. Cook for another minute or until the spices release their aroma and become fragrant.
-
Incorporate Chickpeas: Add the drained chickpeas to the skillet along with salt. Pour in a tablespoon or so of water to create a flavorful steam. Stir well to coat the chickpeas with the aromatic mixture and cook for about a minute.
-
Introduce Tomatoes: Toss in the diced tomatoes and gently stir to combine with the chickpea mixture. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully. If the mixture seems dry or starts to stick, add another spoonful of water to loosen it up.
-
Serve: Once the curry reaches your desired consistency and the flavors have developed, it’s ready to serve! Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and pair it with warm flatbread and fluffy rice for a complete and satisfying meal.
