Cooking Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  • Add the turmeric, cumin, coriander, and paprika to the pot. Sauté for a minute to allow the spices to bloom.
  • Incorporate the diced potatoes and drained chickpeas into the pot. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
  • Add the tomato paste and pour in the vegetable broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat and let the curry simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Once cooked, remove the pot from heat and garnish with fresh herbs before serving.

Notes

If you prefer a creamier texture, mash a few of the potatoes against the side of the pot to thicken the sauce. Adjust the spice level according to your preference.
