Number of Servings: 8

Ingredients

    1 tbsp canola oil
    4 medium carrots (about 2 cups), sliced
    1⁄4-inch thick
    1 onion, thinly sliced
    3 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
    2 tbsp curry powder
    1 tsp ground cumin
    1/2 tsp garam masala
    1⁄2 tsp turmeric
    4 to 5 Yukon Gold or red potatoes,
    quartered
    8 ounces fresh or frozen green beans
    3 cups canned chickpeas, drained and
    rinsed
    2 large tomatoes, diced (1 cup)
    2 cups vegetable stock
    1⁄2 cup frozen peas
    1⁄2 cup light coconut milk

Tips

You can also add shrimp during the last 20 minutes of cooking, if you like. If the dish is a little too spicy for the kids, add 1 tablespoon of plain yogurt to their serving. Serve with a glass of milk and a cucumber salad.


Directions

1. In a sauté pan, heat the oil until hot. Add the carrots and onion and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, curry powder, cumin, garam masala, and turmeric to the pan. Continue to cook for 2 minutes more, until the spices become fragrant.
2. Remove the vegetables from the pan and
transfer to a slow cooker. Add the potatoes,
green beans, chickpeas, tomatoes, and vegetable
stock to the slow cooker.
3. Set the slow cooker on low and cook for 5
1⁄2 hours. Add the peas and coconut milk and
cook for 15 minutes more.

    I made this but I substituted root veggies (parsnips, turnips, etc.) for the potatoes. I also used two cups of (cooked) lentils in place of 2 cups of the garbanzos to make it more like dahl. Adding chili paste will kick up the heat, as will adding curry paste instead of powder. - 2/4/10

    Making this tonight - plan to add tofu. Also, instead of buying light coconut milk, just buy regular and add water - it's cheaper that way since you get twice as much and that is all they do with the "light" anyway! - 3/15/10

    This is the most wonderfull recipe I have found in ages. We plan to fix it once a week. I did put two chicken breast in it and used sweet potatoes instead of yucon potatoes and chicken broth instead of vegetable stock. - 2/6/10

    Smelled wonderful and recipe had a nice flavor.
    Problem: Potatoes were still hard even after cooking for over an extra hour. Cooked leftovers longer. Unfortunately by time potatoes were soft everything else was overcooked. Need to precook potatoes in future or eliminate them.

    Inquiring minds would like to know??? Is a serving a half a cup or a whole cup? Some recipes describe a serving as a half a cup, while others say a serving is a whole cup, so it would be helpful to describe how much a serving is in this recipe. - 2/4/10
