Ingredients
2 tbsps sunflower oil.
1 medium onion.
1 tsp whole cumin seeds.
1 tsp finely chopped fresh ginger.
1 chopped garlic clove.

Quarter tsp turmeric.

1 x 14oz can chick peas.
1 chopped fresh lemon and a handful of chopped coriander leaves to garnish.

  1. Heat the oil in a nonstick wok, add cumin seeds, ginger, garlic, chilli, onion and potato.
  2. Fry over a very low heat for 10 mins.

  4. When nearly ready, add turmeric and season to taste.

Tip: If potatoes are sticking to pan, add half a chopped tomato and a squirt of lemon juice.
