Learn how to make "Coconut Chickpea Curry" at home with our Chef Varun !!!!!!!

"Coconut Chickpea Curry is a delicious vegan dish made with tender chickpeas cooked in a creamy coconut milk-based sauce infused with aromatic spices like curry powder, turmeric, and cumin. This hearty curry is packed with protein, fiber, and essential nutrients, making it both satisfying and nutritious. It's perfect served over rice or with naan for a comforting and flavorful meal."
if chickpeas are not available, you can use white beans (such as cannellini beans) as a substitute. They have a similar texture and absorb the flavors of the curry well.

00:00Today's recipe, Coconut Chickpea Curry.
00:05As simple as it sounds.
00:07And as simple as it is.
00:10Let's begin.
00:18Literally a South Indian style of making Chana.
00:23And by Chana, I mean Kabuli Chana.
00:25Well, we all associate Chana with Punjab, with Delhi, with Haryana,
00:30with Lucknow and places like that.
00:32But for a change, a South Indian Chickpea recipe.
00:36Let's begin with the wet paste.
00:38First thing's first, freshly grated Coconut.
00:44To this, untoasted Coriander seeds.
00:48Along with this, a touch of Turmeric powder.
00:51Couple of dried Red Chillies.
00:55Well, instead of this, you could also add in Chilli powder, of course.
00:59Let's add in untoasted Fennel seeds.
01:02A generous pinch of Black Mustard seeds.
01:09Cloves.
01:10A tiny piece of Star Anise, just pinch it.
01:14Couple of blades of Mace.
01:19A stick of Cinnamon.
01:26Couple of Peppercorns for that extra added spice.
01:30And last but not the least, a tiny little smidgen of Nutmeg.
01:35Let's add in 3 tbsp of Cold Water.
01:39Cover this and grind this into a fine and smooth paste.
01:49Our wet paste is done and ready.
01:52Let's move on to the next component and that is the tempering.
01:55Let's keep this aside for now.
01:58And begin straight in the pressure cooker.
02:01Now this way, you'll end up saving a lot of time because...
02:06...the Channa needs to be pressure cooked.
02:083-4 whistles and that should be perfect.
02:10In case, you have pre-cooked Channa or canned Channas.
02:14You can begin directly with the tempering.
02:17Open the can and straight add in the can of Chickpeas with the water.
02:21Remember this.
02:22High flame and add in regular vegetable oil.
02:27Let's begin with chopped Ginger.
02:29Chopped Green Chillies.
02:32Curry leaves.
02:34And chopped Onions.
02:38Let's saute this for a couple of minutes.
02:41And once the Onions turn translucent, I'm going to add in the ground paste.
02:47Let's stir this well.
02:49And add in our soaked Chickpeas.
02:53Salt.
02:55And chopped Tomatoes.
02:58Let's stir this well.
03:02And add in thin Coconut Milk.
03:09We stir this well.
03:12Allow this to cook under pressure for 20 minutes.
03:17Or under 3 whistles.
03:23Once the whistles are done, off goes the flame.
03:25Allow the pressure to completely settle down.
03:28After which, we'll check for seasoning, make a quick stir.
03:31And then this straight goes on the dinner table.
03:39With this, our Coconut Chickpea Curry is done and ready.
03:43Now what do you serve this with?
03:44You can serve this with a couple of things.
03:46You can serve this with Sannas, of course they go in.
03:49But they'll go very well with something like this.
03:52You can serve this with Puttu.
03:53You can serve this with Rice.
03:56You can serve this with Ghee Rice, Lemon Rice.
03:58Or quintessentially with Malwari Parathas.
04:01Make this for your family, make this for your friends.
04:04And see how they smile back at you.
04:05This is me the Bombay Chef, Varun Inamdar, signing off.
04:09Bye for now.
