Categories     Main Course

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.
