Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare your ingredients for the kari. If possible, use whole spices and grind them using mortar and pestle. This gives more flavor to your dish compared to the already grinded spices. In the end, all spices used must be grinded into powder either way.
- 2
Prepare your ingredients for the quinoa side dish.
- 3
Start with quinoa. I've used one cup of quinoa, which equals to almost 250g.
- 4
Unless properly washed, quinoa can be bitter after cooking. To avoid this, wash it properly with a boiling water -- I needed approx. 1 liter.
- 5
Add washed quinoa into a pot and add 2.5x more water than the volume of quinoa. I've used 1 pot of quinoa, hence 2.5 pots of cold water.
- 6
Add the heat until the water in the pot starts boiling. Then turn down the heat and let the water to simmer. It takes 15-20 minutes.
- 7
While quinoa cooks, prepare the main dish. Cut the meat (I've used turkey breasts) into small cubes (size of the thumb).
- 8
Cut the onions into small pieces.
- 9
Cut the carrots into the julienne-like slices. You could also use other veggies, such as zucchini, eggplant, spring onions, bell peppers... The key thing to bear in mind is that you add veggies *at the end* of the process only to heat them up and make them smoother. You don't want them to be overcooked without that "crispiness". :-) Garlic and the chilli pepper are the only ones you add before since they give additional taste to the dish.
- 10
Cut the leeks, chilli pepper and garlic into slices.
- 11
Add olive oil and the spices into the pan, mix all together and heat it up.
- 12
Heat the mixture for 1 minute. Soon, the spices will start to form small bubbles in the olive oil.
- 13
Add onions into the spicy olive oil and saute for 3-5 minutes until onions diminish in size.
- 14
Add cubes of meat, mix it with the spicy onion and olive oil and saute it for another 3-5 minutes.
- 15
Add 1 sliced pepper and 4 cloves of garlic. Mix together.
- 16
Add 1 can tomato puree and mix together.
- 17
Add 2 spoons of sugar -- I've used the coconut flower sugar.
- 18
Add sliced leeks and cut carrots and mix well together.
- 19
Add heavy cream and mix well together.
- 20
Bring the mixture to boil and then turn off the heat.
- 21
Serve your wonderful dish. If possible, sprinkle with fresh or dried cilantro. :-) To make smoother, add a slice of

This recipe is based on the chickpea curry that is published in the international recipe book, "Bean Book". Although this curry is for vegetarians, beans are a great source of protein and highly nutritious.Since the original recipe is vegetarian, I use olive oil, but you could substitute with butter.The cinnamon stick is used to add fragrance. If you don't have a cinnamon stick, substitute with about 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Recipe by crann -

Chicken and Chickpea Curry Chicken and Chickpea Curry
It was 100°F (38°C) when I made this mildly spicy, hearty dish in a futile effort to summon Autumn 😂. Yes, it’s probably better suited for Fall, but it has an amazing flavor and is nutritious, too! I didn’t think my young daughter would like it, but she did!The ingredient list looks a little long, but don’t let that deter you. The prep is fairly easy and it comes together quickly once you have the ingredients ready. This recipe is definitely going into my regular rotation.Note: You can make this dish vegetarian by omitting the chicken and adding another can of chickpeas.This recipe was modified from “The Real Food Dieticians.”#GlobalApron - Week 24.
