Instructions

6 steps

  1. Sauté Aromatics

    Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent.

    Stir frequently to avoid burning.

    Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
  3. Mix in Spices

    Add curry powder, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Stir well for 1-2 minutes.

    This helps to release the flavors of the spices.
  4. Combine Liquids

    Pour in coconut milk and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer.

    Bring to a gentle boil to meld the flavors.
  5. Add Vegetables and Chickpeas

    Stir in mixed vegetables and chickpeas. Cook for 10-15 minutes until vegetables are tender.

    You can add more broth if too thick.
  6. Finish and Serve

    Remove from heat, stir in lime juice and garnish with cilantro. Serve hot.

    Pair with rice or naan for a complete meal.
