1 cup green beans, trimmed and chopped

1 can (14 oz) coconut milk

2 tablespoons curry powder

2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
 

Prepare Ingredients: Start by prepping all your ingredients. Dice the onion, chop the bell pepper, carrots, and green beans, and mince the garlic and ginger. This will make the cooking process smoother.

    Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot or skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it turns translucent. Then add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring often for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

      Add Vegetables: Stir in the diced carrot, chopped bell pepper, and green beans. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the veggies to soften a bit.

        Spice It Up: Sprinkle in the curry powder, cumin, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the vegetables and toast the spices for about 1 minute.

          Incorporate Chickpeas and Coconut Milk: Add the drained chickpeas and tomato paste, stirring to combine. Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.

            Final Touches: Once the curry is rich and creamy, squeeze in the juice of one lime and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

              Serve: Serve hot over cooked rice or quinoa, and garnish with fresh cilantro for a pop of color and freshness.
