• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons curry powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon chili powder (optional, for heat)
• 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 15 ounces canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1.5 cups basmati rice
• 3 cups water (for rice)
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 lime lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for an additional 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, and chili powder (if using). Stir to toast the spices for about 1 minute.

Step 5

Add the cubed potatoes to the pot and toss to coat them with the spices.

Step 6

Pour in the diced tomatoes, coconut milk, and vegetable broth. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 7

Lower the heat to a simmer, cover the Dutch oven with its lid, and cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender.

Step 8

Stir in the chickpeas, sea salt, and black pepper. Simmer for another 5 minutes to heat the chickpeas through.

Step 9

While the curry is cooking, rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

Step 10

In a medium saucepan, bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Step 11

Taste the curry and adjust seasonings if needed.

Step 12

Serve the potato chickpea curry over the cooked rice. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for added brightness.
