Ingredients

  • 1 lb Pumpkin
  • 1 can Chickpeas
  • 1 can Coconut Milk
  • 1 medium Onion
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 1 tbsp Ginger
  • 2 tbsp Curry Powder
  • 1 tsp Turmeric
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1 tsp Coriander
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable Broth
  • 2 tbsp Avocado Oil
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Cilantro
  • 4 cups Cooked Rice

Instructions

  1. 1Prepare your ingredients: Peel, remove the seeds, and cut the 1 lb pumpkin into 1-inch cubes. Drain and rinse the 1 can chickpeas. Finely chop the 1 medium onion. Mince the 3 cloves garlic and grate the 1 tbsp ginger.
  2. 2Heat 2 tbsp avocado oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat (350°F / 175°C). Add the chopped 1 medium onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. 3Add the minced 3 cloves garlic and grated 1 tbsp ginger to the pot. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. 4Stir in the 2 tbsp curry powder, 1 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp cumin, and 1 tsp coriander. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant.
  5. 5Add the cubed 1 lb pumpkin, the drained and rinsed 1 can chickpeas, the 1 can coconut milk, and the 1/2 cup vegetable broth to the pot. Stir everything together.
  6. 6Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the 1 lb pumpkin cubes are fork-tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  7. 7Once the pumpkin is tender, stir in the 1/2 tsp salt. Taste and add more salt if needed.
  8. 8Serve the dairy-free pumpkin and chickpea curry hot over the 4 cups cooked rice. Garnish with the 2 tbsp fresh cilantro.
