Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 1 large onion, chopped

  • 1 small head cauliflower, broken into florets

  • 1 cup water, divided

  • 4 medium carrots, thinly sliced

  • 3 large cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

  • 2 teaspoons curry powder

  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste

  • 3 medium tomatoes, chopped

  • ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

  • 2 (15 ounce) cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained

  • 2 tablespoons golden raisins

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; stir in onion. Cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking and stirring until onion starts to turn golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes more.

  2. Increase heat to medium-high and stir in cauliflower. Add 1/4 cup water. Cover and steam for 2 minutes. Add carrots and another 1/4 cup water; cover and steam until water evaporates, 2 to 4 minutes.

  3. Stir in garlic, ginger, curry powder, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and cayenne. Cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes, remaining 1/2 cup water, cilantro, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook over medium-high heat until vegetables are tender and extra water has evaporated, 15 to 20 minutes.

  4. Stir in chickpeas and raisins. Cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste and adjust for salt, if needed.

Cook's Note:

One 14-ounce can of diced tomatoes with juice can be used in place of fresh tomatoes, if desired.
