Chef's tip
Avocado oil is neutral and handles high heat, making it a good all-purpose swap.
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp ground turmeric
½ tsp smoked paprika
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
2 cans (15 oz each) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
½ cup vegetable broth
1 tsp salt, plus more to taste
1 tsp sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same amount and stir until it dissolves. Honey tastes a touch sweeter, so you can also use slightly less.
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

For serving

¼ cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
cooked basmati rice or naan, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Heat the oil in a large skillet or wide saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the cumin seeds and cook, stirring, until they sizzle and turn a shade darker, about 30 seconds — watch closely, as they can scorch quickly.
2
Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden at the edges, 8–10 minutes.
