Coconut Curry with Chickpeas

• 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 lightly browned, 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, then reduce heat to low; cook until thickened, stirring occasionally, 4-5 minutes. TIP: If curry seems too thick, stir in a splash of water. • Remove from heat; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) until melted. Season generously with salt and pepper.
