Instructions

1. 1.
   Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the curry powder. Stir constantly for about 30 seconds until the spices are fragrant. This step releases the essential oils and flavors of the curry powder, enhancing the dish's aroma and taste.
2. 2.
   Pour in the coconut milk and stir well, ensuring the curry powder is fully incorporated to create a smooth, aromatic base. Let the mixture simmer gently for 2-3 minutes.
3. 3.
   Add the chickpeas and tomatoes to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chickpeas are heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly. If the mixture seems too thick, add a splash of water to reach your desired consistency.
4. 4.
   Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If the curry tastes too mild, you can add a pinch more curry powder or a dash of salt for extra flavor.
5. 5.
   Serve hot. For added texture, you can garnish with fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime juice, though these are optional and not included in the 5 ingredients. Enjoy the creamy and aromatic blend of spices and chickpeas.
