Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 potatoes, peeled and diced
• 2 carrots, diced
• 1 teaspoon mustard seed
• 1 pinch salt to taste
• 1 (15.5 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 (13.5 ounce) can coconut milk
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 large onion, finely sliced
• 1 (14.4 ounce) can chopped tomatoes with juice
• 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon cumin
• 0.5 cup frozen green peas
• 0.5 cup frozen corn kernels
• 0.5 teaspoon chili powder, or more to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Place the potatoes and carrots in the boiling water, and cook until softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the peas and corn to the boiling water, and turn off the heat. Wait 1 minute, and drain the vegetables. Cover to keep warm.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onions, and cook until the onions are transparent, 5 to 7 minutes. Combine the tomatoes, kidney beans, garbanzo beans, and water with the onions. Stir in the turmeric, chili powder, cumin, coriander, and mustard seed until blended. Season with salt to taste. Add the potatoes, carrots, peas, and corn. Turn the heat to high, and cook the vegetables 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Lower the heat to medium, and cook another 7 minutes.

Step 3

Pour the coconut milk into the vegetable mixture. Stir and cook for just 3 minutes to prevent the milk from curdling or separating. Remove from the heat and serve.
