Japanese Curry with Chickpeas and Coconut Milk
Serves 4

Ingredients
¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon avocado oil, divided
¾ cup chickpea flour
3 tablespoons tomato paste
4 tablespoons curry powder, divided
2 large white onions, diced
2 cups carrots, diced
2 red bell peppers, diced
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
4 potatoes, diced
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
½ cup unsweetened coconut milk
2 cups cooked chickpeas
2 or 3 handfuls baby spinach
cooked jasmine rice
fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions
In a saucepan over low heat, add ¾ cup avocado oil and whisk in flour. Cook, stirring continuously until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and 2 tablespoons curry powder continue to toast over low heat for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

In a separate pot, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon avocado oil. Add the onions and carrots and sweat over low heat until soft. Increase heat to medium and add the peppers, ginger, and garlic. Sauté 3 to 4 minutes. Add remaining 2 tablespoons curry powder and continue to toast the spices. Add broth and bring to a simmer.

Add potatoes; cook until tender, about 30 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce, coconut milk, and cook until soft, about 10 minutes. Add chickpeas and continue to stir.

Stir in curry paste roux and simmer until sauce thickens and flavors combine, about 5 minutes. Serve with Jasmine rice and fresh parsley leaves.
