Chickpea Massaman Curry
with Crispy Garlic & Peanuts
Massaman curry paste is an aromatic blend of chile peppers, tamarind, and fragrant spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, and star anise. It adds salty, sour, and spicy notes to this creamy coconut curry with leafy greens and juicy tomatoes. We serve this high-fiber, high-protein dinner over a bed of nutty, chewy farro and top it off with crispy, fragrant fried garlic chips.
