A hearty but light vegetarian dish that will set your taste buds on fire. Chickpeas are such a versatile ingredient, so they are always in my store cupboard. This lightning-quick curry works perfectly as a topping for warm naans, with a lovely creamy raita to cut through the spice.

Method

Based on 2 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

To make the mint raita and Kachumber, slice the cucumber section lengthways, then use a teaspoon to scoop out the seeds from each half (discard those). Finely chop the cucumber. Combine half of the diced cucumber with the yoghurt, mint sauce and a pinch of sugar. This is your raita. Set aside while you combine the remaining diced cucumber with the diced red onion and the deseeded and chopped tomatoes. Add a little sliced green chilli if you wish and a pinch of salt.

Step 2

Pop the drained chickpeas, tomato purée, korma paste, boiling stock and a large pinch of sugar into a medium-sized pan, along with salt and pepper, and mix well, bring to a simmer and cook for 5-6 minutes.

Step 3

Warm the naans in the oven or air fryer for 2-3 minutes, then top with the chickpea curry. Sprinkle the kachumber salad on top, garnish with coriander leaves and serve with the mint raita and more **chopped green chilli on the side, if you like.
