Chickpea mango curry is a vibrant and flavorful dish that combines the creaminess of chickpeas with the sweet tanginess of mango. It's a perfect blend of Indian and tropical flavors.
Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Add diced tomatoes, curry powder, ground cumin, cayenne, and salt. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
Add the chickpeas and mango purée. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Next, reduce the heat to low and add the coconut milk. Let it simmer for another 10 minutes until the curry thickens slightly.
Turn off the heat. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with rice or naan.
Notes
For a richer and creamier texture, use full-fat coconut milk. It will provide a more luxurious mouthfeel and complement the sweetness of the mango.
If the curry becomes too thick during cooking, add a little water or vegetable broth to reach your desired consistency. If it’s too thin, simmer it longer to reduce and thicken.
Store it in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days and freeze for up to 2 months.
