• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
• 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• Cooked basmati rice, for serving
• Naan bread, for serving

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot, cooking until fragrant, approximately 2 minutes.
3. Stir in the ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, ground cinnamon, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for 1 minute until the spices are well combined and aromatic.
4. Add the cubed potatoes, drained chickpeas, diced tomatoes, and coconut milk to the pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
5. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the flavors meld together beautifully.
6. Remove from heat and stir in the fresh chopped cilantro.
7. Serve the curry hot with fluffy basmati rice and warm naan bread on the side.

• For a thicker curry, use less coconut milk or let the curry simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes.
• If you prefer more vegetables, add some diced carrots or bell peppers with the potatoes.
• For a milder curry, reduce or omit the cayenne pepper.

• Store any leftover curry in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave before serving.
• This curry can be frozen for up to 2 months. Allow it to cool completely before transferring to a freezer-safe container. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

• If you don’t have fresh ginger, use 1 teaspoon ground ginger instead.
• Switch out the coconut milk for heavy cream if you’re not avoiding dairy.

• This curry pairs beautifully with a fresh cucumber and yogurt raita to balance the spices.
• A refreshing glass of mango lassi or iced lemon tea makes a perfect complement.
