My own recipe for chick pea curry..

 

Chickpeas – You can either use tinned or dried chickpeas. If you’re using tinned, then you will need to rinse and drain the chickpeas.

But if you’re using dried chickpeas, then you will need to soak them in water for minimum 3 hours (with 1 tsp of bicarbonate of soda) I usually do it over night in the fridge and then cook them in water with 1 tsp of ground cumin until they’re soft.

Potatoes & veg – Wash, peel, and cube the potatoes & courgette.
