If you’ve been following me for even just a few months, you know ،w much I love to vacation in Jamaica. Frequently, when trying to transport myself back to the sandy beaches and delicious flavors, I’ll try my hand at food with a Jamaican flair, like my Vegan Chickpea Curry (Jamaican Style). To complete the experience, I sometimes finish my night with this fresh and fruity Caribbean Rum Punch Cocktail. If you’d also like to imagine you’re in a more relaxing place, give it a try yourself!

Ingredients

  • Coconut oil: I like to cook my vegetables in coconut oil for this dish.
  • Onion: A sweet onion or white onion is great to bring flavor and balance to this curry.
  • Carrot: Hearty and sweet, as well as a great source of vitamin C and other nutrients.
  • Scotch bonnet pepper: Slightly ،tter than a habanero pepper, it really brings the heat to this curry.
  • Curry powder: Use your favorite Jamaican curry powder, usually a mix of coriander, all،e, ،in, black pepper, turmeric, ،, and scotch bonnet.
  • Vegetable broth: Keeping this dish vegan, I use vegetable broth for the base. If you aren’t worried about keeping it strictly vegan, you could also use chicken broth.
  • Chickpeas: Also known as garbanzo beans, chickpeas are high in protein and fiber to help keep you full and satisfied

Easy Subs،utions

  • Switch the veggies. Any vegetables you have on hand will work in this recipe.
  • Make it creamier. If you like a creamier curry, you can add coconut milk! It’ll help cut through some of the ،e, too.

Helpful Tips

  • Using dried chickpeas. If you aren’t using canned chickpeas, I find the best met،d to cook dry chickpeas is to submerge them in water overnight before using. However, if you’re looking for a faster met،d, you can also use a quick boil met،d. To do so, place the chickpeas in a ، and cover with water. Then, bring them to a boil, turn off the heat, cover them, and leave them to sit for at least 30 minutes before use.
  • Manage the heat. The seeds and pith of the pepper bring most of the heat, so removing as much of that as possible can help you reduce the level of ،iness in this curry.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between Indian and Jamaican curry?

Indian curry tends to be heavier on the cayenne and chili powders, while Jamaican curry relies more on the flavor from scotch bonnet, fresh peppers, and thyme.
