This recipe makes a delicious chickpea curry. There are quite a lot of ingredients here but I highly recommend giving it a try. This one always goes down well with guests. If you like it a bit hotter just add a couple more chillies.

- Put the vegetable oil into a large pan and cook the onions on a medium heat. Add the garlic, cumin, mustard seeds and salt. Brown for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes.
- Once browned, add chillies and ginger. Cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Turn down the heat and add chopped tomatoes, paprika, fenugreek and turmeric. Mix well and heat for 2 minutes with the lid on. This will break down the tomatoes.
- Add drained chickpeas to the pan and cook uncovered for 5 minutes at a medium heat.
- Pour in 1 pint of water and 1 teaspoon of the garam masala and stir well, then continue to cook for 35 to 40 minutes over a medium heat till the sauce thickens.
- Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of garam masala at the end and stir well. Serve and enjoy.
