    Yields3 Servings
    Prep Time5 minsCook Time25 minsTotal Time30 mins
     1 tablespoon coconut oil
     1 2-inch thumb (10g) ginger, minced
     5 cloves garlic, minced
     1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
     3 tablespoon (45g) Thai red curry paste
     1 (175g) red bell pepper, chopped
     1 cup (250g) eggplant, chopped
     1 medium zucchini, chopped (or 2 cups cauliflower florets)
     2 tablespoon coconut sugar*
     1 teaspoon ground turmeric
     1 teaspoon salt
     1 15 oz (425g) can chickpeas**, rinsed and drained
     1 14 oz can (414mL) light or full-fat coconut milk
     ½ cup water
     juice of half a lime
    1

    In a large pot, heat coconut oil and sauté the ginger and onion on medium heat until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

    2

    Add in minced garlic, curry paste, turmeric (and some dried chilies, if you want a spicier curry) and cook for another minute.

    3

    Add the vegetables, then the coconut sugar, chickpeas, coconut milk, and water, and cook on medium heat until mixture comes to a boil. Cover and cook on low heat for another 15 minutes, until vegetables are tender.

    4

    Remove from heat and add in the lime juice. Taste and add more salt, coconut sugar, lime juice, or curry paste as needed.

    5

    Garnish with cilantro and another squeeze of lime juice, and serve immediately.

    Notes
    • *Any sugar will work. I use coconut sugar because it's unrefined and has a lower glycemic index/contains trace minerals. 
    • **You can also substitute cooked lentils or another type of bean.
