Chickpeas With Zucchini Curry Recipes

Steps:

• Boil a large pot of water; cook pasta until al dente.
• While pasta is cooking, heat oil in a saucepan.
• Add onion, garlic, mushrooms, and zucchini and sauté until zucchini is tender but not mushy.
• Stir in remaining ingredients and cook over medium heat, covered, for about 8 minutes.
• When pasta is done, drain well.
• Spoon vegetables over pasta and garnish with scallion curls.
• Variations: add 1-2 teaspoons finely minced ginger root and sauté with vegetables. The chickpeas and pasta complement each other to form a complete protein.
• If you'd like to try making your own curry powder, you might try my posted recipe: Curry Powder Mix #104344.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a pot and add the onion and cumin seeds. When they start to crackle, add the courgette slices and chickpeas. Stir and sprinkle with the chilli, coriander and turmeric powder(s). Mix well and add the tomatoes. Sprinkle with salt, the green chilli and fresh coriander.
• Cover and cook for about 10-12 mins or until done.

Steps:

• Start your rice first thing so that it's ready when your curry's ready.
• Set a large saute pan over low heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil. When warm, add the onion along with a pinch of salt. Cook, continuing over low heat, stirring occasionally, to sweat the onions (make them tender but not browned), about 8 minutes.
• Increase heat to medium. Add 1 more tablespoon of oil along with the garlic, curry powder, and cayenne if using. Stir frequently until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add the ginger and zucchini along with another pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini begins to get tender, about 3 minutes.
• Add the chickpeas and corn and cook, stirring, until warmed through, about 2 more minutes.
• Reduce heat to low. Add the coconut milk, tahini, brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Stir to combine. The tahini might appear to be clumpy, but it will meld in with the ingredients when warm.
• Bring to BARELY a simmer - do not let boil! If you let the curry boil, the coconut milk gets too hot and the curry will have a grainy appearance. Cook low and slow, stirring occasionally, until warmed through and the zucchini and corn are tender, 6-8 minutes.
• Stir in lemon juice and cilantro. Taste and add more salt if desired (it will probably need another 1/4 teaspoon at least - I intentionally call for a small amount of salt so that you can adjust to your tastes at the end). At this point, you can also stir in more cayenne if you'd like a bit more heat.
• To serve, divide rice between bowls, then spoon curry over the top. Garnish with cucumbers, scallions, cilantro, and sesame seeds.
