How to Make Easy Curried Chickpeas Chana Masala Vegetarian Vegan
- Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
- Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1 inch ginger (grated). Saute until onions are golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and 1/2 teaspoon garam masala. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- Add 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas (drained and rinsed), 1 cup vegetable broth, and 1/2 cup chopped cilantro. Stir well to combine.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and the flavors have melded.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more cayenne for heat, salt to taste, or a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
- Serve hot over rice, quinoa, or naan bread. Garnish with extra cilantro and a dollop of plain yogurt (optional).
