Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 small onion
  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 2 small green bell peppers, coarsely chopped
  • 1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can full fat coconut milk
  • 2½ tablespoons curry powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper, plus more for seasoning
  • 1½ teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 4 cups cooked rice
  • lime wedges (optional)
Directions
  1. Prepare veggies by dicing onion and bell pepper into ½" pieces. Slice carrots and mushrooms about ⅛" thick. Mince garlic. Rinse and drain chickpeas.
  2. Heat coconut oil over medium high heat in a large saucepan/skillet. Once oil is hot enough that a drop of water sizzles, add onions and carrots and reduce heat to slightly above medium heat. Lightly season with salt and pepper. Cook onions and carrots for 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and green bell pepper, lightly seasoning again with salt and pepper, and cook for 6 minutes more, stirring occasionally to avoid burning.*
  3. While veggies are cooking begin making curry sauce. In a small bowl whisk together coconut milk, curry powder, cumin, ¼ teaspoon salt, cayenne pepper, ¼ teaspoon pepper, cornstarch and brown sugar until sugar and cornstarch are dissolved.
  4. Add chickpeas and garlic to veggie mixture and cook for 2 additional minutes. Add sauce and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until sauce begins to thicken.
  5. Serve warm over cooked rice with lime wedges for garnish.
Notes
*Add more coconut oil to middle of pan and stir if needed while sautéing vegetables.
