This easy vegetable curry is the best way to eat your veggies! Cauliflower, bell pepper and chickpeas swim in a flavor-packed broth.

Note: This curry features crisp tender veggies and a sauce that is broth-like. It’s not as thick of a sauce as with a tomato or coconut milk-based curry like our cauliflower curry or chickpea curry

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 2 teaspoons ginger, grated
  • 1 small yellow onion
  • 1 large carrot
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 small cauliflower
  • 2 cups chopped broccoli or broccolini
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon coriander (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed (or 1 1/2 cups cooked)
  • Torn cilantro or roasted salted cashews, for garnish
  • Serve with: white rice, brown rice, quinoa, or naan bread (Garlic Naan or Vegan Naan)

Instructions

  1. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger; place them in a small bowl and set them aside.
  2. Dice the onion into bite-sized pieces. Peel the carrot and thinly slice it. Cut the pepper into large squares.  Chop the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Cut the broccoli into florets.
  3. Add the olive oil to a large skillet and heat it to medium high. Add the vegetables to the skillet with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and cook for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fork tender and lightly browned. Once tender, add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Stir in the vegetable broth, curry powder, cumin, turmeric, coriander (optional), 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, peanut butter, peas and chickpeas. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes until the sauce is thickened just slightly. (The sauce with be brothy, not thick.) Taste and add additional salt as necessary (we added several more pinches). Spoon the veggies over rice or quinoa, along with a few spoonfuls of broth. Serve with naan bread on the side, if desired.
