Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons mild curry powder
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 ½ cups vegetable broth
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce or tamari
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons tomato paste
¾ pound Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 large carrot, sliced diagonally 1/4 inch thick
4 cups large cauliflower florets
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 cup coconut milk
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish
½ cup frozen peas
Salt to taste
Cooked basmati rice
1 tablespoon Sriracha chile sauce

Steps:

  • Melt coconut oil in a heavy 4-quart pot over medium heat. Saute onion until lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add ginger and garlic and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add curry powder, pepper flakes, broth, soy sauce, maple syrup, and tomato paste and stir.
  • Add potatoes and carrot, cover pot, and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce heat to a simmer and leave lid ajar. Cook just until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Add cauliflower, chickpeas, coconut milk, and cilantro. Stir gently to incorporate. Return to simmer with lid ajar and simmer just until cauliflower is tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Fold in peas and cook until heated through, about 1 minute.
  • Remove from heat and season with salt, if needed. Serve with steamed basmati rice and, for those who'd like more heat, sriracha sauce. Garnish with cilantro.

CREAMY COCONUT CHICKPEA CURRY WITH SWEET CORN & ZUCCHINI



Creamy Coconut Chickpea Curry with Sweet Corn & Zucchini image

This summery curry is quite possibly my favorite, no matter the season! Chickpeas, zucchini, and corn swimming in a warmly spiced, creamy sauce. The cool, crunchy Persian cucumber garnish is a welcome counterpoint.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
1/2 medium yellow onion (diced)
2 medium cloves garlic (minced)
1 thumb-sized piece ginger (peeled and minced)
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon mild curry powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper + more to taste (optional - for a bit of heat if your curry powder is extra mild)
2 medium zucchini (quartered and sliced)
2 cobs of corn (kernels cut off)
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained
1 (14-ounce) can light coconut milk
2 tablespoons tahini
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt + more to taste
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about half a small lemon)
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
2 cups cooked white Basmati rice
2-3 Persian cucumbers (sliced)
2 scallions (sliced)
Chopped cilantro
Black & white sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Start your rice first thing so that it's ready when your curry's ready.
  • Set a large saute pan over low heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil. When warm, add the onion along with a pinch of salt. Cook, continuing over low heat, stirring occasionally, to sweat the onions (make them tender but not browned), about 8 minutes.
  • Increase heat to medium. Add 1 more tablespoon of oil along with the garlic, curry powder, and cayenne if using. Stir frequently until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the ginger and zucchini along with another pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini begins to get tender, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the chickpeas and corn and cook, stirring, until warmed through, about 2 more minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low. Add the coconut milk, tahini, brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Stir to combine. The tahini might appear to be clumpy, but it will meld in with the ingredients when warm.
  • Bring to BARELY a simmer - do not let boil! If you let the curry boil, the coconut milk gets too hot and the curry will have a grainy appearance. Cook low and slow, stirring occasionally, until warmed through and the zucchini and corn are tender, 6-8 minutes.
  • Stir in lemon juice and cilantro. Taste and add more salt if desired (it will probably need another 1/4 teaspoon at least - I intentionally call for a small amount of salt so that you can adjust to your tastes at the end). At this point, you can also stir in more cayenne if you'd like a bit more heat.
  • To serve, divide rice between bowls, then spoon curry over the top. Garnish with cucumbers, scallions, cilantro, and sesame seeds.

Season with salt, cumin, pepper, fennel seeds, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala; mix until well incorporated. Stir in corn starch until a creamy paste forms.

Stir in chickpeas and broccoli and briefly cook until just lightly crisp and tender (do not overcook). Mix in coconut cream and curry leaves and cover pan halfway with a lid. Simmer until liquid is reduced and has thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chickpeas: Dried chickpeas are best for this recipe, as they hold their shape better than canned chickpeas. If using dried chickpeas, be sure to soak them overnight before cooking.
  • Use a good quality coconut milk: The coconut milk is a key ingredient in this recipe, so be sure to use a good quality brand. I recommend using full-fat coconut milk for the richest flavor.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender, but still have a bit of a bite to them. Overcooking the vegetables will make them mushy.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: This curry can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, quinoa, or naan bread. It's also great served with a dollop of yogurt or chutney.

Conclusion:

This creamy coconut chickpea curry with sweet corn and zucchini is a delicious and easy-to-make vegan meal. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual lunch. The curry is packed with flavor and the vegetables add a nice crunch. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!
