Vegan Chickpea And Ketchup Curry Recipes

VEGAN CHICKPEA AND KETCHUP CURRY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a frying pan on medium-low heat. Add the onion and sweat for about 6-8 minutes until soft and golden. Don't rush this part.
• Stir in ginger and garlic and stir for a couple of minutes before adding the curry powder. Continue frying and stir for 2 more minutes.
• Add the chickpeas and tomato ketchup with a dash of water to loosen things up. You're trying to get the consistency of a sauce, so stir for 20 seconds before adding more water if needed.
• Simmer gently for 5 minutes, then add lemon juice. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
• Serve with instant or cooked rice, flash fried spinach or kale with lemon juice, with bread or pitta to mop up the juices.

CHICKPEA CURRY

Steps:

• Keep a small bowl of water nearby for deglazing. Heat the oil in a 12-inch heavy-bottomed sauté pan or medium-sized Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cumin and coriander seeds for about 1 minute, tossing frequently, or until aromatic and darker by a few shades but don't let them burn!Add the curry leaves: if using fresh leaves, cover the pan immediately and stand back to prevent oil splatter. Cook for just 20 seconds to prevent burning. For dry leaves, cook a little longer.
• Add the onions with a big pinch of salt and cook for 5 minutes, until starting to get some color. If the spices start to darken, lower the heat to medium. Add a splash of water as needed to prevent onions from browning. Add garlic, ginger, serrano peppers, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Add Ground Spices and tomato paste and stir frequently for 90 seconds. If it dries out, add a splash of water. Add tomatoes + 2 teaspoons kosher salt. Use tomato juices to scrape up browned bits. Cook for 5 minutes, or until tomatoes are soft and the oil starts to release from them.
• Pour in chickpeas, coconut milk, water, tahini, and sugar. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, opening the pot to stir occasionally.
• Meanwhile, rinse Swiss chard (or kale) and cilantro and mint. For the greens, remove the center ribs and discard. Roll the leaves and up slice the leaves very thinly. Chop the cilantro and mint.
• After the simmer time, add the greens. Simmer until tender and wilted, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garam masala to combine.
• Off the heat, squeeze in a little lemon or lime juice, cilantro, and mint. Season to taste with salt (about ½ teaspoon kosher salt). Rest for 5 to 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve with cooked rice or flatbread.

CREAMY COCONUT CHICKPEA CURRY

Steps:

• In a deep pot over medium-high heat, add the coconut oil.
• Add in the onions and tomatoes. Grind some sea salt and ground black pepper over the mixture and stir together. Lower heat to medium and allow to cook down until juices of the tomatoes are naturally released and onions are soft, about 10 minutes.
• Add in the chickpeas, garlic, garam masala, curry powder and cumin. Stir to combine.
• Add in the coconut milk and stir again. Add in the coconut flour which helps to slightly thicken the curry. Bring the curry to a boil, and then reduce to medium-low so that the mixture continues to simmer for 10 to 12 more minutes.
• Taste the curry and season with salt and pepper if you desire. Remove the curry from the heat and squeeze a lime lightly over the top of the curry, stirring to combine. Don't skip this step!! Allow to cool slightly and then serve. Enjoy!
