Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 medium onion chopped finely
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 heaped tablespoon Thai red curry paste
  • 2 (19 fluid ounce) cans chickpeas drained
  • 1 heaped tablespoon curry powder
  • Juice of 1/2 lime
  • 1 (13.5 ounce) can coconut milk (I used full fat)
  • Handful fresh basil sliced thin
  • Generous handful cilantro chopped
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  • If making this with rice I'd get the rice started before you start cooking the curry. 
  • Add olive oil to a medium-to-large pot and sauté the onion for 5-7 minutes over medium-high heat.
  • Stir in the garlic and red curry paste. Cook for 30 seconds.
  • Add the chickpeas, curry powder, lime juice, and coconut milk to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium and let the curry warm through. Season with salt & pepper as needed.
  • Add the basil and cilantro before serving. I served this dish with rice and the lime wedges.

Notes

  • I used Thai Kitchen red curry paste and McCormick curry powder (medium spice level). 
  • Serves 4+ depending on how much people eat.
