Chickpea & Potato Curry is a hearty and flavorful dish that combines chickpeas with tender potatoes in a rich, aromatic curry sauce. This vegan, gluten-free meal is packed with spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric, creating a satisfying and nourishing dish.

Ingredients

  1. 2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 medium onion, chopped
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1-inch piece of fresh ginger, grated
    2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
    1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
    1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
    1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
    1 teaspoon ground cumin
    1 teaspoon ground coriander
    1 teaspoon ground turmeric
    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
    1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
    Salt and pepper to taste
    Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
    Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and golden.

  1. Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Add diced potatoes and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
  3. Stir in cumin, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon (if using), cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes to let the spices toast.
  4. Add diced tomatoes, coconut milk, and chickpeas. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and curry thickens.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or cayenne if desired.
  6. Serve the curry hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges. Enjoy with rice or naan!

Notes

  1. For a spicier curry, add more cayenne pepper or chopped fresh chilies.
  2. If you don’t have coconut milk, substitute with almond milk or vegetable broth for a lighter curry.
  3. Add spinach or kale at the end of cooking for extra greens and nutrition.
  4. If you prefer a creamier curry, add cashew cream or peanut butter for richness.
