Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Finely chop the onion; grate the garlic and ginger and finely mince the chili. Grate the tomatoes.

  2. 2

    Heat the sunflower oil in a wide pot and cook the onion over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until golden.

  3. 3

    Add the garlic, ginger and chili and stir for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the curry powder, cumin, turmeric and paprika and toast for 30 seconds.

  4. 4

    Add the grated tomatoes and cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, until the sauce thickens and the oil separates at the edges.

  5. 5

    Add the chickpeas, water and salt. Cover and simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes, mashing some chickpeas with the back of a spoon to thicken the sauce.

  6. 6

    Stir in the lemon juice, rest for 5 minutes and serve.
