Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan, then add the onion and ginger. Cook over medium-high heat until softened (about 5 minutes), stirring frequently. Then add garlic and continue cooking for about 1 minute. Add the curry powder, mix well, and cook until fragrant (less than 1 minute).

Notes

FAQS:
Can I use dried chickpeas instead of canned? Yes, you may use chickpeas that have been cooked from dried beans.  You will need about 1 ½ cups of cooked chickpeas.
What kind of curry powder do you use? I know my answer to this may not be common, but I really only ever have Jamaican-style curry powder in my pantry. I use it all the time and we love the flavor! But you can really use any kind that you prefer.
