Instructions
- 1
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook 6–8 minutes until golden and caramelized — don't rush this step, the caramelized onion creates the base flavor for the whole curry.

Add garlic and ginger, cooking 2 minutes until fragrant. Add curry powder, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne. Stir constantly for 1–2 minutes until the spices darken slightly and smell incredibly aromatic.

Add diced tomatoes and cook 5 minutes, breaking them up with the spoon, until the mixture thickens and the oil begins to pool at the edges — this is the dhungar effect and means your base is ready. Add chickpeas and stir to coat.

Pour in coconut milk, stir to combine, and bring to a simmer. Cook 15 minutes until the sauce is thick, golden, and coats the chickpeas. Some chickpeas can be lightly mashed against the pan to thicken the sauce further. Season with salt. Serve over basmati rice with fresh cilantro.
