Chickpeas with Curry

Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the red onion and garlic and cook until translucent, around 4-5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the crushed tomatoes and the curry powder and cook until the tomatoes are darker in color, around 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the chickpeas and bring to a gentle simmer for around 8 minutes. Add the heavy cream and stir to incorporate.

  4. 4

    Remove from heat and add the butter, stir until melted and fully incorporated. Add salt if needed and garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro, a dollop of Greek yogurt and serve over rice.

Notes

If you simmer your curry uncovered this will reduce liquid. You also can mash some chickpeas, or add a slurry of cornstarch or blended cashews. If using dried chickpeas, soak them overnight and cook them until tender. This results in a creamier texture and richer flavor. You can use heavy cream, yogurt, almond milk, or cashew cream for a similar creamy texture.
