Ingredients

  • 1 12 ounce-can chickpeas drained
  • 2 carrots medium-sized, cut into slices
  • 1 red bell pepper cut into dices or slices
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 ½ tablespoon ginger grated
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 teaspoon avocado oil
  • 1 ½ tablespoon red curry paste
  • 2 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste optional
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 14 oz coconut milk
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • First, prepare the vegetables by rinsing and chopping them. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
  • Next, add avocado oil to a large pan or pot and preheat it over medium heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, ginger and carrot until the carrots start to soften a bit. Then, add the red bell pepper, tomato paste (optional), red curry paste, spices, and salt and pepper to the pot and sauté shortly.
  • Now, add the chickpeas and coconut milk, stir everything and let the curry simmer until the vegetables have softened. Add more salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

  • I recommend serving the curry with rice or cauliflower rice.
  • Depending on the result you aim for, skip the tomato paste and/or add less red curry paste for a mild curry.
