Description
A comforting, flavorful curry packed with aromatic spices and rich coconut milk, featuring hearty chickpeas and potatoes.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons vegetable oil or ghee
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
1 (14 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes
1 cup coconut milk (or use yogurt for creaminess)
1 cup vegetable broth or water
Salt to taste
Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
Cooked rice or naan, for serving
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Then add garlic and ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, and chili powder. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to release the aromas of the spices.
- Add the diced potatoes, chickpeas, diced tomatoes (with juices), coconut milk, and vegetable broth. Stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer gently, covered, for 20–25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally.
- Taste and add salt as needed. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with rice or naan.

This curry stores well in the fridge for up to 3–4 days.
You can freeze the curry for up to 2–3 months. Reheat with a splash of water or broth to adjust consistency.
Feel free to adjust the chili powder for the spice level you prefer.
Try adding greens like spinach or kale for extra nutrients, or swap in sweet potatoes for a sweeter twist.
