Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 medium red or yellow onion, diced
  • 14 ounces fresh or canned tomatoes, diced (400g)
  • Sea salt and ground black pepper, to taste
  • 16 ounces canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed (454g)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 ½ tablespoons garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • 13.5 ounces canned coconut milk (383g)
  • 2 teaspoons coconut flour (optional, for thickening)
  • Juice of 1 small lime

Instructions

  1. Heat coconut oil in a deep pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Add diced onion and tomatoes, season with sea salt and black pepper, and stir. Reduce heat to medium and cook for about 10 minutes until tomatoes release their juices and onions soften.
  3. Add chickpeas, minced garlic, garam masala, curry powder, and cumin. Stir to combine well.
  4. Pour in coconut milk and stir. Add coconut flour if using to help thicken the curry.
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Remove from heat, squeeze fresh lime juice over the curry, and stir.
  7. Allow to cool slightly and serve warm with rice or naan.

Notes

  • Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamier texture.
  • The coconut flour is optional but helps thicken the curry.
  • For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne or chopped chili.
  • This curry pairs perfectly with steamed rice, quinoa, or flatbread.
