Key ingredients for coconut chickpea curry
Spices – The warm and round spices are the true stars of this dish. The cumin adds this rich, earthy and warm flavour we really love. The garam marsala adds a beautiful floral/peppery note. Lastly the curry powder just fills in the gaps and rounds out the full flavour of the soup.
Coconut milk – If you’re looking to add body and sweetness to a dish coconut milk if your best friend. It has a magical ability to both carry and calm lifted spiciness.
Zesty limes – You always need a bit of acidity, it helps balance out the richness and elevate the round flavour of the spice blend.
Fresh cilantro – So much more then a simple garnish, It adds freshness and colour that is very much needed.
Tips on nailing this coconut chickpea curry
- Make sure your sweet potato is cut evenly. We’ve all made stews or soups where we got a mouthful of undercooked potato or veg. If you keep your vegetables the same shape and size you’ll get an even cook every time!
- Bloom your spices!!! When you add your spices make sure you give them a little a little toast in the pan. This is going to ensure you develop all of their flavour and give you the most out of them.
- Rinse your chickpeas. We don’t want to add the aqua faba (the chickpeas liquid) as it might overpower the other flavours and water it down.
Ways to serve
We love a warm and hearty soup just straight up in a big bowl. The great thing about this dish, is its ability to pair with a few different things. Like we said above, a perfectly cooked bowl of jasmine rice goes a long way. Soaking up all of those warm spices turn this soup into a meal! We also think serving it with a warm toasted side of naan bread really takes it home!
