TO SERVE:

Heat olive oil over medium heat in a heavy-bottom sauté pan or a medium-sized pot.
Add onions and a big pinch of salt and sauté for about 5 minutes.
Add garlic, chili and ginger. Cook for 3 more minutes, always stirring to keep the vegetables from burning.
Add tomato paste, curry powder, ground coriander, ground cumin and ground turmeric and sauté for another minute or two, until fragrant.
Add the carrots and potato. Stir to coat the vegetables with the spice mixture.
Stir in the chickpeas, coconut milk, water and 1 tsp sea salt. Make sure the vegetables are covered with liquid, if not, add ¼ cup more water. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 25 - 30 minutes. Or until the vegetables are tender.
Add peas and cook for 1 more minute.
Turn off the heat and add lime juice and coconut sugar. Stir to combine. Season to taste with more sea salt.
Serve warm and enjoy this cozy meal!
