How to Make Chickpeas With Zucchini Curry

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add 1 small chopped onion and 1 teaspoon cumin seeds. Sauté until onions are translucent and cumin seeds begin to crackle (about 3-5 minutes).
  2. Add 2 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons, and 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed. Stir to combine.
  3. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 tablespoon coriander powder, and 1 teaspoon turmeric powder. Stir well to coat the vegetables and chickpeas with spices.
  4. Add 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained.
  5. Season with 1 teaspoon salt, 1-2 finely chopped green chilies (adjust to taste), and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander.
  6. Cover the pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the flavors have melded. Stir occasionally.
  7. Garnish with extra fresh coriander before serving with rice, raita, pickle, and salad.
