Instructions

  • In a deep sided pot over high heat, add the olive oil and onions. Cook for 2 - 3 minutes to brown the onions. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook for a further 10 - 12 minutes until onions are very soft.
  • Add the ginger, garlic, chili, turmeric, coriander and cumin. Give a really good stir and let the flavours infuse for about 2 -3 minutes.
  • Add chickpeas and tomatoes. Stir well to coat completely. If using whole tomatoes, break them up with a wooden spoon. Stir, cover and reduce heat to medium low. Cook for a further 20 minutes.
  • Remove lid and stir. If the mixture is very dry you can add 1/4(60ml) to 1/2(120 ml) of vegetable stock. Add the Garam Masala, lime juice and fresh coriander. Stir and let simmer for 2 - 3 minutes.
  • Serve with Basmati rice and Nann bread.
