Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium-sized stockpot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the chipped onion and cook 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in pepper, fresh ginger, salt, fresh minced garlic, coriander, turmeric, and curry powder. Continue cooking, stirring often, until onion is soft and translucent, approximately 5 minutes. This process allows the spices to open up and become more flavorful.
  2. Add the diced tomatoes to the pot and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add coconut milk and bring to a a full boil. Reduce the heat and cook 5 to 6 minutes, stirring often.
  3. Add the peeled shrimp and chickpeas. Cook until shrimp are pink and curled, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in cilantro. Serve hot over cooked rice.

Notes

  • Simmer the curry base for about 15 minutes before adding shrimp to reduce liquid and deepen the flavors.
