Ingredients

  • 2 tins chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • Peanut oil
  • 3 fat cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon crushed ginger
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin

Method

Soften the onion in 1 or 2 tablespoons of peanut oil.

Stir in the garlic, ginger and spices for barely a minute until fragrant, and then stir in the coconut milk and bring to a bubble.

Add the drained chickpeas, chilli and a little salt and stir.

Reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes.

Check seasoning. Serve over steamed rice, sprinkled with cashews and coriander leaves.
