Equipment

Ingredients
  

Spices

  • 2 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon All Spice powder
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg powder (or ½ teaspoon freshly grated)
  • 1.5 teaspoon smoked paprika (or normal or sweet)

Curry

  • 2 large garlic cloves minced
  • 1 large onion diced (brown, white, yellow)
  • 1.5 cups potatoes cut into 1.2cm / ½" cubes (1 large, any type, peeled)
  • 28 oz canned chickpeas (2 x 14oz/400g cans), drained
  • 14 oz canned crushed tomatoes
  • 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth/stock low sodium
  • 1 teaspoon cooking salt / kosher salt plus more to taste (halve for table salt)

Instructions
 

Cooking Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large pot or very deep skillet over medium high heat. Add onion and garlic, cook for 3 minutes until onion is translucent.
  • Add the curry spices and stir for 1 minute.
  • Add the potatoes and stir to coat in the spices. If the spices start to stick to the bottom of the pot, add a tiny splash of water.
  • Add the chickpeas, tomatoes, veg or chicken broth and salt. Bring to simmer then turn down the heat to medium and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked and the sauce has thickened.
  • Taste and add more salt if needed. Stir through scallions/shallots and parsley.
  • Serve with rice with a dollop of yogurt and coriander/cilantro if desired. Basmati would be ideal, or Coconut Rice if you're wanting to impress. To go all out, add some Easy Soft Flatbreads!

Notes

Medium spice level due to cayenne pepper and white pepper. Adjust spices to taste.
