Instructions

Step 1

Place a large saucepan over a medium heat and add the oil. When hot, add the onion, garlic, chili, and ginger. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring often. This is the most important part of making the curry. Getting the base ingredients lovely and golden will ensure that the finished curry has a powerful flavor.

Step 2

Add the salt and all of the spices and cook, continuously stirring, for another 3-4 minutes. This will allow the spices to roast and release their aromatics. Throw in the tomato puree and cook for 1 more minute before adding the chickpeas. stir well so that they are coated well.

Step 3

Deglaze the pan with the coconut milk and stir once more, then allow it to come to a simmer. Let it simmer gently for around 12 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, make the rice. Add the rice, turmeric cinnamon stick, cardamon pod, and salt to a sauce pan along with 2 cups of water, put the lid on and place the pan over low heat to cook gently for around 12 minutes or until the liquid has been absorbed by the rice and it's perfectly cooked.

Step 5

When the rice is cooked, and just before serving, stir the coconut flour into the curry to thicken it up a little.

Step 6

Serve up your curry with the rice, a little bit of fresh cilantro, and a sprinkle of black onion seeds.
