Ingredients

2 tsp olive oil
1 lb mushrooms (sliced)
15.5 oz chickpeas drained (can use fresh ones too but you have to soak them)
1 whole onion (diced)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
2 tsp fresh ginger (minced)
1 bunch fresh cilantro (garnish)
2.5 tbsp tomato paste
10.5 oz coconut milk (not reduced fat)

Spices

2 tsp red pepper flakes
3 tsp curry powder
3 tsp garam masala
2 tsp turmeric
2 tsp cumin
2 tsp paprika
salt/pepper to taste

Instructions

Chop onions, garlic, and ginger.
Heat oil on medium heat and sauté onions for about 2 minutes.
Then add the ginger and garlic. Sauté with all of your spices for about 2 minutes making sure the flavors are blended.
Add the tomato paste and coconut milk (make sure the texture is smooth) and mix everything together.
Simmer till it thickens up for about 2 minutes.
Transfer your sauce to a blender and blend for about 1-2 minutes. (This step isn't necessary if you're into a chunky sauce).
In the same pan your sauce was made in, sauté the mushrooms and drained chickpeas. Add an additional tsp of each of the spices to add some flavor to your mushrooms. I end up adding more of each spice than what I say in my recipe but I know not everyone feels that way!
Transfer your sauce into the pan with the mushrooms and chickpeas.
Simmer for about 5 minutes making sure the flavors are blended.
Garnish with cilantro and serve with whatever grain you prefer!
