- 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic

- 2 tbsp Curry Powder
- 1 can Canned Chickpeas

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Cut the 1 small Loaf of Bread into 4 equal pieces. Carefully hollow out the inside of each piece, leaving about a 1.27 cm thick wall, to create 4 bread bowls. Set the hollowed-out bread bowls aside.
- 2Heat the 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat (176.7°C / 175°C). Add the 1 medium Onion, chopped, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- 3Add the 2 cloves Garlic, minced, and the 2.54 cm Ginger, grated, to the pot. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- 4Stir in the 2 tbsp Curry Powder and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute more until it smells fragrant.
- 5Add the 1 can Canned Chickpeas, drained and rinsed, the 1 can Canned Diced Tomatoes with their juices, and the 1/2 cup Vegetable Broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
- 6Season the curry with the 1/2 tsp Salt and the 1/4 tsp Pepper. Stir well to combine.
- 7Carefully spoon the thickened curry mixture into the 4 prepared bread bowls, filling them generously.
- 8Serve the Bunny Chow Bites immediately.
