This vegan curry is made with banana squash, kale, and chickpeas for a very filling, healthy stew.
Ingredients
  • 1 Tbsp. canola oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2-3 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 2-3 tsp. curry powder
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1 tsp. ground coriander
  • 1 tsp. ground ginger (or 1 Tbsp. freshly grated)
  • 1-2 tsp. salt (start with less and add more to taste)
  • 1 can light coconut milk plus 1 can of water
  • 3 cups banana squash, peeled, seeds removed and cut into ½"cubes
  • 1-2 cups chickpeas
  • 2 cups cubed potatoes
  • 1 bunch (about 6-8) kale leaves, stems removed, chopped
  • About 4-5 cups hot, cooked rice
Instructions
  1. Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until it starts to soften. Add the garlic and cook a little longer, until fragrant.
