Creamy Coconut Chickpea Chai Curry

Creamy Coconut Chickpea Chai Curry

the 5 Cs  🥥✨

do you like the way I added some voice overs in with the original audio? 😆 I’m still learning and having a blast doing it!

this warming mid-week chai spiced curry 🌶🔥 is exactly what you need especially with colder weather creeping up on us. BRRRRR! ☃️

the beauty of about chai addict is that it’s unsweetened allowing our recipe creator @roses.and.ros to use it in a savoury dish ❤️. in this recipe the chai concentrate helps reduce the amount of ingredients and simultaneously enhances flavour. it’s a win-win! 🔥

Ingredients ✨
– 2tsp coconut oil (any neutral-light oil will work)
– 1/2 brown onion finely diced
– 1 chilli finely diced (adjust according to taste)
– 2-3 cloves of garlic minced
– 2tbs fresh ginger minced/finely chopped
– 1 bunch of coriander, stems finely sliced (2tbs) and leaves roughly chopped
– 1 1/2tsp Garam Masala powder
– 3tsp ground Turmeric
– 3tbs Tomato paste
– 2 Tomatoes roughly chopped
– 1 Red Capsicum diced
– 1-2 Zucchini’s sliced
