How to Make Quick Chickpea Curry
Begin by heating olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pan, sautéing them until they become soft and fragrant—about 3 to 4 minutes.
Stir in the curry powder and cumin, allowing them to cook for 1 minute.
Add the canned chickpeas and coconut milk to the pan. Stir everything together.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, letting it bubble away for about 10 minutes.
Once it's warmed through, season with salt to taste.
