Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
- Add the rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-18 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
- Once cooked, remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the curry powder and black pepper, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the diced potatoes to the pan and stir to coat with the onion and spice mixture.
- Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Cover the pan and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Stir in the drained chickpeas and chopped tomatoes. Let the curry simmer for another 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
3. Finish and Serve:
- Remove the curry from heat and stir in the chopped coriander leaves.
- Serve the potato and chickpea curry over the cooked basmati rice.
Tips:
- Rinse the basmati rice under cold water before cooking to remove excess starch and prevent it from becoming too sticky.
- Cut the potatoes into evenly-sized pieces to ensure they cook at the same rate and achieve a consistent texture.
- Sauté the onions until golden brown to enhance their sweetness and add depth to the curry flavor.
- Let the curry simmer on low heat after adding the coconut milk and chickpeas to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Adjust the seasoning to your taste by adding more curry powder or black pepper if you prefer a spicier dish.
- For a thicker curry, you can mash a few potato pieces into the sauce or simmer it for a bit longer to reduce the liquid.
- If you prefer a richer consistency, use full-fat coconut milk instead of light coconut milk.
This potato and chickpea curry is not only delicious but also nutritious, making it an excellent option for a wholesome meal. Simply serve it over basmati rice and garnish with fresh coriander leaves for a dish that's sure to become a household favorite.
