Notes
Don't have all the spices? Just add 3 teaspoon Garam Masala instead.
Don't rush the onions. Make sure that they're nice and soft before moving on to the next step. They'll add far more flavour if you're patient and cook them for at least 5 minutes.
This curry freezes well for up to 3 months.
Keep this chickpea curry in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Which canned tomatoes to use? Any will work: plum, whole peeled, crushed, chopped, diced, stewed. Just be sure it's the smaller 400g/150z size can.
Make it vegan? this curry recipe is naturally vegan and vegetarian.
Prefer a mild curry recipe? Just leave out the cayenne.
Want it spicy? Add more cayenne!
Get extra green goodness by serving it with wilted spinach or kale or stir it in at the end so the greens are in the curry.
