Coconut Curry with Chickpea & Bell Pepper

• Melt 1 TBSP butter in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add half the garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Add rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings), and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

• Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and bell pepper; cook until softened and starting to brown, 3-5 minutes. • Stir in tomato paste, curry powder, paprika, half the garam masala, and remaining garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. TIP: Love the earthy warmth of garam masala? Add more if you like! • Stir in chickpeas, coconut milk, stock concentrate, ¼ cup water, and ½ tsp sugar. (For 4 servings, use 1⁄3 cup water and 1 tsp sugar.) Bring to a simmer, reduce to low, and cook until thickened, stirring occasionally, 4-5 minutes. TIP: Add a splash of water if curry is too thick. • Remove from heat and stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4). Season generously with salt and pepper.
