Curry in a Hurry

I have been trying to post this recipe for weeks now, just haven't found the time and FINALLY here it is!
A spicy dish before it gets unbelievably hot outside....
Start by cooking rice either with a rice cooker or boiling it and chick peas if you prefer to boil yours like me if not canned will do (but try and get bpa free and nothing added)...you will need about 2 cups of cooked rice and a cup of chickpeas
Fry a clove of garlic and a small chopped onion in 2 tbsps of coconut oil, while this is frying...
Chop up your choice of veggies I like to use:
2 carrots, a cup of chunked broccoli and a half cup of sliced bok choy
In a bowl mix 1/2 can of coconut milk (organic full fat is preferred, coconuts have a healthy fat so dont be scared its gonna add pounds), with 1/2 tsp of curry powder, 1/4 tsp turmeric, 1/4tsp ginger powder, 1/8tsp cumin, 1/8tsp cayenne.
Then add your coconut milk with spices, veggies and chickpeas to the pan.
Let all of this simmer together for 15-20 mins
Then serve the curry on a bed of rice....or add green leafys under the rice and curry and make it into a curry salad!
Caution may be SPICY...Im not a huge spice fan so I try not too make it too extreme but feel free to spice yours up!
