- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 sweet potato, cubed
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 cup cauliflower florets
- 1 cup green beans, trimmed
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained
- Salt and pepper to taste

- Cooked rice, for serving
Heat the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger, and sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Add the curry powder, ground turmeric, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir continuously for about 1 minute to toast the spices and unlock their flavors.
Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, and bring to a simmer. Add the sweet potato, red bell pepper, cauliflower, and green beans. Simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
Stir in the chickpeas and continue to cook for another 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish the curry with fresh cilantro and serve over cooked rice for a complete meal.
