Follow The Directions

01

Step
20 mins

Heat oil in a 6-quart Dutch oven or large heavy pot over medium heat; sauté onion until translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Add garlic and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water, coriander, paprika, ginger, turmeric, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and cinnamon to onion mixture. Cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes.

02

Step
15 mins

Stir in chickpeas, tomatoes in juice, remaining 1/2 cup water, and bay leaf into the spiced onion mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until flavors have melded, about 10 minutes. Stir in coconut milk; simmer for additional 2 to 3 minutes. Add more water if needed and season with salt.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice at the end.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your spice preference.
Garnish with fresh cilantro for a vibrant finish.
