Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, diced

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 large onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon ginger, grated

1 can (14 oz) coconut milk

1 cup vegetable broth

1 tablespoon curry powder

1 teaspoon cumin

½ teaspoon turmeric

½ teaspoon red chili flakes (adjust to taste)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Cooked rice or quinoa, for serving

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot or skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

    Add Spices: Stir in the curry powder, cumin, turmeric, and red chili flakes. Cook for another 2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.

      Incorporate Zucchini: Add the diced zucchinis to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.

        Chickpeas and Liquids: Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth. Add the rinsed chickpeas, and stir well to combine.

          Simmer: Season with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cover the pot. Let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender and the flavors meld together.

            Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or chili flakes if desired.

              Serve: Serve the curry over cooked rice or quinoa, and garnish with fresh cilantro. Enjoy your warm, comforting meal!
