Ingredients

  • 14 oz canned chickpeas rinsed and drained
  • 8 oz mixed vegetables carrots, green peas, and potatoes
  • 4 oz green beans fresh and chopped
  • 4 oz button mushrooms sliced
  • 13.5 oz full-fat coconut cream
  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 2 Tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 leaf bay
  • 1 tsp ground cumin seeds
  • to taste salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 tsp ground coriander seeds
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground cardamom

Instructions

  • Start by gathering all your ingredients. Rinse and drain the canned chickpeas, chop the onion, garlic, and mixed vegetables, and slice the button mushrooms.
  • In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another minute. Then add the garam masala, turmeric, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cloves, ground cinnamon, and ground cardamom. Mix well and let the spices bloom for about 1 minute.
  • Add the mixed vegetables, green beans, and mushrooms to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the drained chickpeas and pour in the coconut cream. Add the bay leaf and salt, and bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Let the korma simmer on low heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once the vegetables are tender, remove the bay leaf and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  • Serve the Vegetable Korma hot, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired. Enjoy with rice, naan, or quinoa.

Notes

  • Use fresh spices for the best flavor.
  • Don't rush the sautéing process; letting the onions caramelize adds sweetness.
  • For a richer flavor, allow your korma to simmer a little longer.
