Total Time: 30 minutes

Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients:

• 2 (15 oz.) cans chickpeas, drained
• 1 large onion, diced
• 2 (15 oz.) cans diced tomatoes
• 1 (14 oz.) can coconut milk
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp mustard seeds
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp turmeric
• 1 tsp curry powder
• 2 Tbsp ground coriander
• 1/2 tsp garam masala

Steps:

1. Dice onions. Heat oil in a large skillet, then cook mustard seeds and onion until onion is translucent. WARNING: I was surprised to find that mustard seeds leap out of the pan while they cook, so have a lid of screen handy! :)

 

 
2. Add cumin and diced tomatoes. Cook until mixture starts to become stewy in consistency.

Go to the store, and stock up on coconut milk; I can't imagine anything that could substitute and still give the same rich and complex flavor.

I agree, there is no real substitute for coconut milk. You could try adding a small amount of some other milk alternative, like almond or rice milk, but it wouldn't be nearly the same.

Let us know how it turns out if you do experiment.
