Peanut Butter Chickpea Curry

Scroll

Peanut butter is such a versatile ingredient and great in so many savoury dishes as well as sweet.

Of course, we do a love a simple thick layer on a piece of toasted sourdough or a dollop in the midst of a mighty fine bowl of oats.

But it also works so well in curries and other sauces to thicken them up. It provides heaps of flavour and a beautiful richness.

  4. Meanwhile heat the remaining oil in a large pot or pan, add the onion and garlic and cook for 3 minutes.
  5. Add the onion and garlic, garam masala, curry powder, turmeric, tomato puree, milk and peanut butter to a jug to blend with a hand blender or into a processor or blender.
  6. Pour the mixture into the pot, bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
