Ingredients
 
 

  • 480 g canned chickpeas two standard tins
  • 400 g tinned tomatoes one standard tin
  • 3 cm piece of ginger peeled and chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic peeled and chopped
  • 1 chilli optional
  • 1 tablespoon sunflower oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 650 g potatoes peeled and chopped
  • 300 ml water
  • 2 tablespoons garam masala
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt optional
  • Fresh coriander chopped, optional

Instructions
 

  • Drain the chickpeas and rinse. Place 150g chickpeas in a blender or food processor with the tin of chopped tomatoes, 3 cm piece of chopped ginger, 4 cloves chopped garlic and the chopped chilli if using. Blend until well combined.
  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan with a lid. Add the cumin seeds once hot and turn the heat to medium.
  • Once the cumin seeds are starting to turn brown (about a minute) add the chopped onion and stir well. Turn the heat down and cook for 7-10 minutes until turning transparent. Stir often.
  • Add 1 teaspoon ground turmeric and stir. Cook for one more minute.
  • Add the 650g diced potatoes. Stir to coat in the onion mixture.
  • Next add the tomato mixture and 300ml water. Bring it the boil then reduce to a simmer. Cover with a lid and cook for 30-40 minutes until the potatoes are soft.
  • Stir occasionally and add a little more water if the sauce gets too thick.
  • Once the potatoes are soft add the rest of the chickpeas, 2 tablespoon garam masala, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and a pinch of salt (optional). Add a little water if needed and warm through.
  • Before serving add fresh coriander leaves.
  • Serve with rice or flatbreads and a yoghurt sauce.
