Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp (15mL) avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp (15g) fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 tbsp (17g) tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp (7g) curry powder
  • 1 tsp (2g) garam masala
  • 1 tsp (3g) ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp (1.5g) turmeric
  • 7 oz (200g) (½ block) extra firm tofu, pressed and crumbled (optional, for extra protein)
  • 1 14 oz can (400g) diced tomatoes
  • 1 14 oz can (400g) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup (140g) diced sweet potato (or butternut squash)
  • 1 small zucchini, diced (about 1 cup)
  • 1 13.5 oz can (400mL) light coconut milk
  • 1 tsp (6g) salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp (1.5) ground black pepper
  • Fresh lime wedges
  • Fresh chopped cilantro
  • 2 cups (400g) cooked brown rice or quinoa (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion in the skillet for a few minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and ginger, and cook for another minute.
  • Add the tomato paste, curry powder, garam masala, cumin, and turmeric. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, then stir in the crumbled tofu and cook for 3-5 more minutes allowing it to absorb all the flavors.
  • Add the diced tomatoes and cook for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  • Stir in the chickpeas, sweet potato, zucchini, and coconut milk. Season with the salt and pepper and bring to a low boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender and the curry has thickened.
  • Taste and add more salt and pepper, as needed. Serve over brown rice, quinoa, or riced cauliflower topped with fresh lime juice and cilantro.
