Ingredients

  • 3 cans chickpeas drained & rinsed
  • 4-6 potatoes cubed
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp curry powder
  • 1 tbsp turmeric
  • 1 tbsp adoba seasoning
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Better Than Bouillon Roasted Vegetable Paste
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 can coconut milk added at the end
  • 2 cups kale ()or spinach chopped

Instructions

  • Sauté the Base: Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until soft and fragrant.
  • Toast the Spices: Stir in the curry powder and turmeric, letting them cook for 1-2 minutes. This step deepens the flavors and enhances the aroma.
  • Crisp the Chickpeas: Add the drained chickpeas and let them cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This helps develop a slightly crispy texture before simmering.
  • Build the Flavor: Mix in the vegetable bouillon paste, garlic powder, onion powder, adobo seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
  • Simmer with Potatoes: Pour in 4 cups of water and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the cubed potatoes, cover, and let cook for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  • Finish with Coconut Milk & Kale: Pour in the coconut milk and add the chopped kale (or spinach). Let everything simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the greens to soften.
  • Serve & Enjoy: Ladle the curry over a bowl of fluffy white rice and enjoy the cozy, comforting flavors!

Notes

This dish is even better the next day! The flavors continue to develop as it sits, making it a perfect meal prep option. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Simply reheat on the stove with a splash of water or coconut milk to maintain the creamy consistency.
