Vegan Butternut Squash and Chickpea Curry image

This is a delicious vegetable curry with chickpeas and butternut squash, but you can use any other pumpkin as well. If you're not vegan, yogurt tastes great with it, or you can use soy yogurt instead of course. I like to use dried chickpeas and cook them myself instead of canned, but you can of course use canned chickpeas as well.

Time 9h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup dry chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 onions, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
6 pods green cardamom
2 dried red chile peppers, stemmed and seeded
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1 teaspoon black mustard seeds
1 tablespoon tomato paste, or more to taste
1 large butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
3 carrots, chopped
1 ½ cups water, or as needed
½ bunch fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • Place chickpeas in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let soak, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Drain and rinse chickpeas under running cold water. Place in a large pot, cover with several inches of water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until chickpeas are soft, 60 to 75 minutes. Drain.
  • When chickpeas are halfway done, heat oil in a large pot and cook onions until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add cardamom pods, chile peppers, coriander seeds, turmeric, and mustard seeds and toast for 1 minute. Mix in tomato paste.
  • Stir butternut squash and carrots into the pot. Add enough water to cover vegetables halfway. Simmer over low heat, partially covered, until all the vegetables are soft, 25 to 35 minutes. Add more water if curry gets too dry.
  • Mix in cooked chickpeas shortly before serving and heat until warm. Serve sprinkled with cilantro.

I'm going to try making this curry with different vegetables next time. I think it would be great with sweet potatoes or carrots.

This curry is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less butternut squash or adding some chopped tomatoes to balance out the sweetness.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my curry turned out bland. I think I might have used a bad batch of curry powder.

This curry is a bit too spicy for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend using less curry powder if you don't like spicy food.

I love this curry! It's so flavorful and satisfying. I always make a big batch and freeze the leftovers for later. It's also a great way to use up leftover butternut squash.

This curry was easy to make and packed with flavor. I used a store-bought curry paste, which made it even quicker to prepare. The butternut squash and chickpeas were cooked perfectly, and the curry was creamy and delicious. I served it with naan brea

I'm not usually a fan of butternut squash, but this curry changed my mind! The squash was roasted to perfection, and it had a lovely caramelized flavor. The chickpeas were also cooked perfectly, and they added a nice texture to the curry.

This butternut squash and chickpea curry was an absolute delight! The flavors were perfectly balanced, with a hint of sweetness from the squash and a touch of heat from the curry powder. The chickpeas added a nice protein boost, and the coconut milk
