Ingredients

  • 30 oz canned chickpeas
  • 1 yellow onions
  • 4 clove garlic
  • 1 oz fresh ginger root
  • 14 1/2 oz canned diced tomatoes
  • 2 tsp curry powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 4 naan flatbread
  • 1 lemon

Method

  1. Cook the diced onion in the oil over medium heat for 6 minutes until it takes on color at the edges.

  2. Add the minced garlic and ginger and cook one minute.

  3. Stir in the curry powder, cumin, and turmeric and let them toast in the oil for 30 seconds so they lose their raw edge.

  4. Add the diced tomatoes and cook 5 minutes until the mixture darkens and pulls away from the pan.

  5. Tip in the drained chickpeas with half a cup of water and simmer 8 minutes, mashing a few against the side to thicken the gravy.

  6. Season with salt and lemon juice and serve with naan warmed straight over the flame.
