How to Prepare Hearty Pumpkin Chickpea Curry [Vegan, Grain-Free]

Put powdered spices and salt in a small bowl. Put whole spice seeds if you have them in a separate bowl.
Chop onions. Sauté onions with oil and a sprinkle of salt until soft.
Once onions are soft add chopped garlic and whole seed spices. Sauté until the mustard seeds start to pop. Or until the whole seed spices get darken from the heat. If not adding whole seeds just wait until 2 minutes or so before moving the the next step.
Add in spices, drained can chickpeas, and pumpkin. Mix everything together well.
Add in diced tomatoes (including the liquid) and coconut milk. Mix everything well. If too thick, feel free to add water. If too thin, then reduce down by boiling.
Put in a bowl and garnish with cilantro and mustard seed.
