Instructions

Step 1: Prep the ingredients

Start by dicing the onion, mincing the garlic, and grating the ginger. Dice the red bell pepper and zucchini, and set aside. Drain and rinse the chickpeas, and set aside. Chop the cilantro for garnishing later.

Step 2: Cook the onions and spices

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute.

Add the curry powder, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne pepper (if using), and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3: Add the tomatoes and broth

Pour in the can of diced tomatoes and stir to combine. Add 1 cup of vegetable broth, and stir again.

Step 4: Add the chickpeas, vegetables, and coconut milk

Add in the drained and rinsed chickpeas, diced red bell pepper, and diced zucchini. Stir everything together until well combined. Finally, pour in the can of coconut milk and stir again.

Step 5: Simmer and serve

Bring the curry to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes. Add the frozen peas during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve over rice or with some naan bread on the side. Enjoy your homemade curry!
