Read on to find out how to make John's creamy chickpea curry recipe, it's veggie, lactose free & delicious!

For a recipe that serves a family of four, you will need:

• 2 tbsp oil
• 2 tsp cumin seeds
• 2 large onions, finely chopped
• 4 cloves of garlic, crushed
• 1 inch ginger, grated
• 2 tsp garam masala
• 1 tsp chilli powder
• 1 x 400ml tin coconut milk
• 3 tbsp tomato puree
• 2 x 400g tins chickpeas, drained
• The juice of ¼ lime
• A small handful of finely chopped coriander leaves
• Pinch of salt

Here's how you make it:

1. Heat the oil in a large shallow pan over a medium heat. Add the cumin and crackle in the oil, stirring occasionally for 20 seconds until fragrant. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally for 18-20 minutes until super soft.
2. Add the garlic, ginger, garam masala, chilli powder and a good pinch of salt. Mix for 10 seconds until fragrant. Add the coconut milk and tomato puree and mix well. Chuck in the chickpeas and stir together. Cover, reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally for 15 minutes.
3. Remove the lid and turn the heat up a little so it’s bubbling gently. Stir occasionally for 8-10 minutes or until the sauce has thickened. Add the lime and mix well. Have a taste and add more salt and lime to taste. Serve immediately with coriander and enjoy!
