▶️ RECIPE INGREDIENTS LIST: ( 3 servings approx.)
2 Tablespoon Cooking oil (I have used LIGHT olive oil as its good for cooking in higher temps)
2 cups / 1 can (540ml) Cooked Chickpeas
1 Teaspoon Mustard Seeds
10 to 12 Curry leaves – Fresh, dry or frozen
1 cup / 135g Onions – chopped
1+1/2 Tablespoon Garlic – finely chopped
1/2 Tablespoon Ginger – finely chopped
1 Teaspoon Turmeric
1/2 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (OPTIONAL)
1/8 Teaspoon Asafoetida
1+1/2 Cup Vegetable Broth (Low Sodium)
1+1/2 Cup Water
1+1/2 Cup Coconut Milk (Full Fat)
1/4 Cup / 12g Cilantro (Coriander leaves) – finely chopped
1/2 Tbsp Lime (or lemon juice) or to taste
▶️ METHOD:
Drain 1 can or jar of chickpeas and set aside.
To a heated pan add the oil. Heat the oil and then add the mustard seeds. Allow the mustard seeds to crackle. AS SOON AS THE SEEDS STARTS TO CRACKLE, REDUCE THE HEAT TO LOW, THIS WILL PREVENT THE SEEDS FROM BURNING. Add the curry leaves and fry is for a few seconds. Now add the chopped onion and 1/4 Tsp salt. Increase the heat to medium. Fry on medium heat until the onions start to brown. It will take about 5 minutes or so. Adding salt while frying the onions will release it’s moisture and help it cook faster so please don’t skip it.
Add the chopped garlic and ginger and fry for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add the cooked chickpeas, salt, vegetable broth, water and mix well. Cover the lid and bring to a boil. Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat to medium-low (or low depending on the heat of your stove) and cook for 15 minutes. after 15 minutes uncover and mash half of the chickpeas. Turn the heat back to medium and bring it to a boil. Add the coconut milk and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes or to the desired consistency. Do not overcook the coconut milk. Turn off the stove.
Garnish with cilantro and lime/lemon juice. Mix well. Cover the lid and allow it to rest for 2 to 3 minutes for the flavours to blend.
Serve with naan and/or steamed rice with a green side salad.
