- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Instructions
- Heat the coconut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Notes
- This recipe is naturally dairy-free and vegan.
- For a richer texture, use only the thick cream from the top of the coconut milk can initially, adding the remaining liquid later.
- If you prefer a Thai twist, substitute some spices with 1-2 tablespoons of red curry paste.
- This curry tastes even better the next day.
