    How to Make Chickpea Curry

    1. Heat Vegetable Oil

    Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers.

    2. Cook Green Bell Peppers

    Add the green bell peppers to the Dutch oven along with 1.5 teaspoons of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook the peppers for about 5 to 7 minutes until they start to brown.

    3. Add Aromatics and Spices

    Add the minced jalapeño chile, minced garlic, grated fresh ginger, and curry powder to the pot. Cook these spices and aromatics for around 30 seconds, stirring constantly.

    4. Combine Main Ingredients

    Add the chickpeas, diced tomatoes (with their juices), and coconut milk to the pot. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

    5. Simmer Curry

    Once the curry begins to boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes.

    6. Serve Chickpea Curry

    When the curry is ready, the flavors should be well combined and the peppers tender. Serve the chickpea curry hot, and enjoy.

    Variations

    Chicken and Coconut Curry

    Add cubed chicken breast or thighs for a non-vegetarian option.

    Thai-Inspired Curry

    Use Thai curry paste, fish sauce, and lime juice for a Thai flavor profile.

    Sweet Potato and Coconut Curry

    Include cubes of sweet potato for a sweet and hearty variation.

    Lentil and Coconut Curry

    Use red or green lentils for a different texture.

    Indian-Inspired Curry

    Add garam masala and a tadka of mustard seeds for an Indian touch.
