Ingredients

    2 potatoes, cubed ~1/2in.

    1T vegetable oil
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1/2 yellow onion, diced

    1t cumin, ground
    3/4t+ cayenne, ground
    2t curry powder (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/curry-powder-blend-recipe/index.html, I used pre-ground spices)
    2t garam masala (http://allrecipes.com/recipe/easy-garam-masala/)
    1/2 inch ginger root, minced (use a microplane!)
    1t salt

    7.25 oz tomatoes, cut how you like them
    7oz (210g) garbanzo beans/chickpeas, cooked, drained, rinsed
    7ox (210g) peas (nutrition info for canned)

    7oz lite coconut milk

Tips

I used halved grape tomatoes, which made it brighter than canned diced tomatoes. I think using frozen peas would reduce the sodium and add another color. I might also try it leaving the 1t salt out. Whoever makes this next should do a makeover! :)

My prep time includes making my own garam masala and curry blends.


Directions

Cook potatoes in boiling water until just cooked through. We'll cook them some more later and don't want it to fall apart. Move on to the next paragraph while keeping an eye on them. Once they're cooked, drain and throw in the chickpeas/garbanzo beans, peas, and tomatoes.

Heat 1T olive oil. Start on next paragraph, and once hot, add garlic and onion, stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile, assemble all the aromatics in the third grouping of the ingredient list. Once the onion is translucent, add these to the onion and garlic, continually stirring to break up ginger, combine spices, and coat everything in the pan. Continue for a couple of minutes until the spices have 'bloomed'-- released their smell.

Add in pot of potatoes, chickpeas/garbanzo beans, tomatoes, and peas. Stir quickly to coat. Pour in coconut milk. Stir to combine. Simmer about 10min.

Serve with a little rice or skim milk to counter the spiciness!
