Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp fresh ginger minced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/8 tsp ground cayenne pepper optional
  • 1 Tbsp curry powder
  • 1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained

  • 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro chopped

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

  • Julia's changes: Once all of the ingredients were added except for the shimp, I simmered for about 15 minutes instead of 5, simply to reduce the liquid and to make sure the flavors got cooked together.
