Chickpea Curry

This hearty and versatile chickpea curry is a flavor-packed favorite that fits any meal. Enjoy it over rice for a cozy dinner, scoop it up with warm naan or crusty bread, or pair it with a fresh salad for a lighter touch—no matter how you serve it, it’s pure comfort in every bite!

Ingredients:
  • 1 medium serrano pepper, chopped
  • 4 large garlic cloves
  • 1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
  • 1 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
  • 6 tablespoons neutral oil (canola or avocado)
  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 2¼ cups canned diced tomatoes (no salt added), with juice
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, rinsed
  • 2 teaspoons garam masala
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions:
  1. Blend the Aromatics:
    In a food processor, pulse the serrano pepper, garlic, and ginger until minced. Scrape down the sides and pulse again. Add the onion and pulse until finely chopped (but not mushy).
  2. Sauté & Spice it Up:
    Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion mixture and cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Stir in coriander, cumin, and turmeric, and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Tomatoes & Chickpeas Join the Party:
    Pulse the canned tomatoes in the food processor until finely chopped. Add them to the pan along with salt. Lower the heat and let it simmer for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Final Simmer:
    Stir in the chickpeas and garam masala. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it gently simmer for 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Serve & Enjoy:
    Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve warm. Perfect with rice or naan!
