Sweet and Spicy Curry with Chickpeas image

One of my clients gave me a shorter version of this recipe before I left work for the day. Added a couple of things to it and loved it. Thanks a lot, Laurie. You were right -- good meal! This sauce goes well with rice or with pita bread. What's great about this recipe is you can add as much spice as you would like.

SWEET SAVORY CHICK PEA CURRY



Sweet Savory Chick Pea Curry image

This is an unusual twist on the classic curry dish, which has a sweet kick to it with fennel undertones. The raisins and carrots add a rich color and delightful taste that will satiate your palate. This dish comes from my mother in law, Shirley in South Africa where many African dishes have an Indian influence because they descended in the 19th century as indentured workers transported to work on the sugar plantations of Natal. The result is a fusion Indo-African dish, which is best served over basmati rice.

SWEET POTATO AND CHICKPEA CURRY



Sweet Potato and Chickpea Curry image

This is a warming rather than hot curry. You can taste the spices and enjoy their aromatic fullness. The ginger, chile and pepper flakes provide heat, while the coriander and cumin add a pleasurable earthiness. Meanwhile, the sweetness of the coconut milk, heightened by the soothing starchiness of the sweet potatoes, has as a counterpoint the fierce tang of tamarind. As a side dish, this recipe would be fine without the chickpeas, but as a meal, along with rice and maybe some steamed broccolini, they add heft and, if you're interested, protein.

Categories     dinner, one pot, main course

Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 medium red onions, peeled
1 clove garlic, peeled
1 bird's eye pepper, Thai chili or other very hot small pepper with its seeds
1 2 1/2- to-3-inch piece of ginger, peeled and cut into chunks
3 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons ground turmeric
3 cardamom pods, lightly crushed
Salt
2 pounds (about 3 medium) orange-fleshed sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2- to-1-inch cubes
1 3/4 cups coconut milk
1 tablespoon tamarind paste
2 1/4 cups hot chicken or vegetable broth
4 to 5 cups (about 4 15 1/2-ounce cans, drained) canned or cooked chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
Cooked white rice for serving (optional)
Steamed broccolini for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a food processor, combine onions, garlic, hot pepper and ginger. Pulse until finely chopped. Place oil in a large saute pan over medium-low heat. Add chopped onion mixture and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add hot pepper flakes, ground ginger, ground coriander, cumin, turmeric, cardamom pods and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir to mix. Add sweet potatoes and stir until well covered in spices. Stir in the coconut milk.
  • Dissolve tamarind paste in hot broth and add to pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until sweet potatoes are just tender, about 25 minutes. (Taste potatoes to be sure they are cooked all the way through, and allow additional cooking time if necessary.)
  • Add chickpeas and simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes. Adjust salt to taste. Transfer to a warmed bowl and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Serve, if desired, with white rice and broccolini.

SWEET CHICKPEA CURRY



Sweet Chickpea Curry image

Chock-full of chickpeas, this colourful stew is mildly spicy and divinely easy. Just throw it all in the oven, stir once, and dinner's ready in an hour! It's my slight adaption to Dreena Burton's recipe in "Vive Le Vegan!"(awesome cookbook!)

Provided by White Rose Child

Categories     Curries

Time 1h10m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups low-sodium chickpeas (I use freshly-cooked ones, heavenly, but canned would be fine)
7 ounces coconut milk, with 6 oz water (better yet, use 1 can fat-reduced coconut milk)
3/4 cup red onion, chopped
3/4 cup celery, chopped
1 cup broccoli, chopped or 1 cup an additional 3/4 cup celery
1 1/2 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 granny smith apple, diced (peel if you want, but I love it with skin on)
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
1 -1 1/2 tablespoon mild curry paste (see note)
2 1/4 teaspoons mustard seeds
1 1/4 teaspoons cumin seeds
3/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

Steps:

  • Note about curry paste: The more you use of course, the hotter it will be. It depends on the brand really. When using my favorite, Patak's, I use the smaller amount. Or if I have another kind such as Sharwood's, I use more.
  • Combine all ingredients in a casserole dish. Heat oven to 300 or 325 (you know your oven best!)Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Then stir, cover again and bake another 30-35 minutes.
  • I like to serve this with steamed greens, especially collards, either on the side with a dressing, or stirred right into the stew! They complement the curry flavors beautifully. I've never had the dilemma of too much left-over, but I'm sure it would freeze well.

Tips:

  • Use dried chickpeas: Dried chickpeas are more flavorful and have a better texture than canned chickpeas. If you're using dried chickpeas, be sure to soak them overnight before cooking.
  • Use a variety of spices: This recipe uses a blend of spices to create a flavorful curry. Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices to find a combination that you like.
  • Don't overcook the chickpeas: Chickpeas should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooked chickpeas will become mushy.
  • Serve with rice or bread: Chickpea curry is traditionally served with rice or bread. You can also serve it with naan or roti.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, or mint, can add a pop of color and flavor to your curry.

Conclusion:

This chickpea curry is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover chickpeas. The curry is flavorful and satisfying, and it can be served with a variety of sides. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this chickpea curry a try.
