Method:

  2. Add oil, ginger, garlic, and onion, sauté until onions are translucent and everything is combined.
  3. Add all vegetables and toss through to ensure even coverage of spices.
  4. Add enough stock to just cover, add additional water if necessary.
  5. Gently simmer for up to 30 minutes or until vegetables are cooked through but still holding their shape.
  6. Add chickpeas and cook for a further 5 minutes until chickpeas are heated through.
  7. If adding coconut milk, add it now and reduce for up to a further 10 minutes.
  8. Serve curry on its own or with rice if desired.

Notes

  1. Whilst some save the aquafaba from chickpeas to form a vegan meringue, it is also often the cause of gas/ bloating/ flatulence, so I choose to drain and rinse it away.

Optional

  1. Grain free breadcrumbs or from homemade bread is a good substitute for GF bread crumbs.
