1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons mild curry powder
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 ½ cups vegetable broth
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce or tamari
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons tomato paste
¾ pound Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 large carrot, sliced diagonally 1/4 inch thick
4 cups large cauliflower florets
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 cup coconut milk
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chickpeas: Dried chickpeas are best, as they have a better flavor and texture than canned chickpeas. If you're using canned chickpeas, be sure to rinse and drain them well before using.
  • Cook the chickpeas until they are tender: Chickpeas should be cooked until they are soft and creamy, but not mushy. This will take about 45 minutes to 1 hour in a pressure cooker or slow cooker.
  • Make sure the curry filling is flavorful: The curry filling is the heart of these hand pies, so make sure it's packed with flavor. Use a variety of spices, such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala. You can also add some chopped vegetables, such as onions, peppers, or carrots, to the filling.
  • Don't overfill the hand pies: When you're filling the hand pies, be sure not to overfill them. Otherwise, they will be difficult to seal and may burst open during baking.
  • Bake the hand pies until they are golden brown: Bake the hand pies in a preheated oven until they are golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly. This will take about 20-25 minutes.

Conclusion:

These curry chickpea hand pies are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or meal. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or family dinners. You can also freeze them for later, making them a great option for busy weeknights.
