Chickpea Curry
Our awesome vegan takes on the insanely popular dish.
Ridiculously tasty and nutritious – just look at all that protein, fiber and
iron…
Ingredients [ For 7 to 8 people ] [
Preparation time : 22 minute
– Cooking time : 35 minutes ]
- ½ cup basmati rice
- 1 cup water
- 2 pinches salt
- 2 medium onions
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- ½ lime
- 1-2 tbsp of your favorite curry paste. (a Tikka Masala curry paste would work great as well)
- 1 can coconut milk (1 can = 1.5 cups )
- 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed (1 can = ca. 400g with liquid)
- 1-2 tbsp soy sauce (try one tbsp first, add another if required)
- 2-3 medium tomatoes/ handful cherry tomatoes, chopped. The sweeter the better
- 1 cup basil leaves
- 1 tsp maple syrup (sugar is fine too)
Preparation Method
1.
Add the rice, water and a pinch of salt and
bring to a boil (could also be done the Indian way from our Buddha Bowls). Keep
an eye on the rice – when the water is boiling put a lid on it, reduce the heat
to low and cook for another 8-10 mins.
2.
While this is happening chop the onions, garlic,
basil, and juice the lime.
3.
Put the oil and onions into a large pan and cook
on a low-medium heat until the onions start to soften and turn clear about 5
minutes. Add the garlic for a further 1 minute.
4.
Add 1 tbsp curry paste and the milk, stirring
until the curry is dissolved. Add another pinch of salt. Taste test – if you’d
like your curry a little stronger then add another tbsp.
5.
Throw in the chickpeas (and chopped green veg if
you’re using it) and soy sauce, and cook on a medium heat for around 5 minutes,
bringing the curry to a boil. If it starts to burn, reduce heat immediately.
6.
Add the chopped tomatoes, chopped basil, lime
juice and gently simmer the curry for another 2 minutes. Taste test again, and
if desired add a second tbsp soy sauce and the syrup or brown sugar. Give it
another stir.
7.
The rice should be done by now too – fork it
through to make it fluffy.
8.
Serve the curry and rice together with papadoms
and naan bread as optional sides.
