Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon avocado oil or any neutral oil (If making this oil-free, use 1 tablespoon of the coconut milk to saute the onions)
  • 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
  • 4-5 cloves garlic (minced or crushed into a paste)
  • 2 heaping tbsp Thai red curry paste (use more or less depending on your taste)
  • 2 teaspoon tamari (soy sauce is fine too, but if you use it your dish won't be gluten-free)
  • 2 tomatoes (finely diced)
  • 3 cups chickpeas (cooked or canned)
  • Juice of half a lime
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 10 basil leaves (torn, or 1 teaspoon dry basil)
  • ¼ cup coconut milk

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a skillet and add the onions. Saute until golden spots appear.
  • Add the garlic and 1 tablespoon of the red curry paste. Stir until the paste has dissolved into the oil.
  • Add the chickpeas, tamari, sugar, lime juice and tomatoes. If using dry basil, add it at this time. If the sauce is dry, add half to one cup of water.
  • When the curry comes to a boil, turn down the heat and simmer another two-three minutes. Add the coconut milk and warm through without bringing to a boil.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of red curry paste and stir in.
  • Check if you need salt. If using fresh basil leaves, add now and turn off the heat.
