Spiced Chickpea and Mango Curry Bowls with Coconut Lime Rice

A vibrant and flavorful curry bowl featuring sweet mangoes, earthy chickpeas, and a fragrant coconut lime rice base.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • For the Coconut Lime Rice:
    • 1 cup white rice
    • 1 (13.5 ounce) can coconut milk
    • 1/4 cup water
    • Juice of 1 lime

Instructions:

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute more.

  2. Add cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne pepper (if using) and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Pour in diced tomatoes and bring to a simmer.

  3. Stir in chickpeas and mango, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  4. While the curry simmers, prepare the coconut lime rice: Combine rice, coconut milk, water, and lime juice in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

  5. Divide the coconut lime rice between bowls and top with the spiced chickpea and mango curry. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired.
