Ingredients
  • 1 (13.5-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, refrigerated overnight
  • 4-6 Tablespoons green curry paste
  • ⅔ cup diced Asian eggplant
  • ⅔ cup diced red bell pepper
  • ⅔ cup diced zucchini
  • ⅔ cup sliced carrots
  • ½ cup diced onion
  • ½ cup vegetable broth
  • 3 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon coconut sugar
  • 1 (16-ounce) can of chickpeas, rinsed and dried
