Ingredients

  • 45 mL (3 tbsp) curry powder
  • 420 mL (1 ½ cups + 3 tbsp) water, divided
  • ½ yellow onion, cut in quarters
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 stalk of celery
  • 60 mL (¼ cup) diced green bell pepper
  • 1 tomato, cut in half
  • 5 mL (1 tsp) garam masala
  • 2.5 mL (½ tsp) salt
  • 1 can (540 mL/19 oz) no salt added chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 500 mL (2 cups) cauliflower, cut in bite-sized pieces
  • 250 mL (1 cup) frozen peas, thawed

Directions

1

In a small bowl, mix the curry powder with 45 mL (3 tbsp) water. Mix into a loose paste and set aside.

2

In a food processor, purée ¼ of the onion, the garlic, celery, green pepper, and ½ the tomato. It doesn’t have to be completely smooth, but should be well incorporated.

3

Dice remaining onion and other ½ tomato.

4

Lightly coat a large non-stick pan with cooking spray or oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add curry paste and cook, about 30 seconds.

5

Add in vegetable purée, diced onion and tomato to the pot. Lower the heat to medium and sauté for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.

6

Add 375 mL (1 ½ cups) of water, garam masala and salt to the pot and allow the mixture to simmer on medium-low covered for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.

7

Increase the heat to medium-high and add in chickpeas and cauliflower. Cook until cauliflower reaches desired level of doneness. Add in peas at the very end just to warm them up.
