Directions

  1. Heat avocado oil in a large pot over medium heat. Saute onion 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Add garlic, ginger, curry powder, turmeric, and cayenne. Cook 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in cooked chickpeas, coconut milk, vegetable broth, and diced tomatoes.
  4. Bring to a simmer and cook 15 minutes to let flavors blend.

Notes

  • Use garam masala seasoning instead of curry powder for deeper flavor
  • Add coconut cream powder for extra richness (reconstitute with hot water first)
  • Substitute red lentils for chickpeas - reduce cooking time to 10 minutes
  • Add a pinch of smoked paprika for extra depth
