A vibrant, creamy potato curry packed with veggies, legumes and warm spices. It’s gluten‑free, vegan, and high in fiber and protein.

• 2 cups diced russet or Yukon gold potatoes (about 3 medium)
• 1 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup diced carrots
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 inch fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tbsp coconut oil or olive oil
• 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes (no added salt)
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1 tsp garam masala
• 1/2 tsp turmeric
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh cilantro for garnish
• Optional: 1-2 tsp garam masala for extra depth

1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Sauté onion until translucent, about 4–5 minutes.
2. Add garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, turmeric, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Stir in diced potatoes, carrots, and chickpeas. Cook for 4–5 minutes, letting the spices coat the vegetables.
4. Add the diced tomatoes, almond milk, and a splash of water if needed. Bring to a gentle simmer and cover.
5. Simmer for 15–20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
6. In the last 5 minutes, fold in frozen peas and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and garam masala.
7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, accompanied by brown rice or whole‑wheat naan.
