Ingredients
- 1 can of chickpeas
- 2 inch piece ginger
- 1 red chilli
- 1 green chilli
- 1/2 white onion
- 5 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 2 tsp cumin seeds

- Olive oil, salt and pepper
- A big handful of spinach
- 2 peppers (red/yellow/orange/green)

Preparation
Prep the vegetables: cut the onion into half moons, dice up the chilli, ginger and garlic. Deseed and slice the peppers.
Heat a pan, let it heat up and then add oil.
Throw in the onions and brown them for about 5 minutes, very important step!
Next add the ginger, garlic and chilli, fry for 1 minute or so.
Add in the spices and stir everything around.
Add in the peppers and cook for about 5 minutes constantly stirring so nothing catches, then pour in the chickpeas and tomatoes.
Refill the tomato can with water and pour in along with a stock cube.
Stir everything together and then pour in the stock, bring to a boil and then reduce to simmer.
If it looks dry then add more stock.
Stir occasionally and after 20 minutes when it is ready add in the spinach and serve it all together with some mint raita and fluffy chapati
