Fusion Healthy Curry

Deseed and finely chop the chilli. Peel and finely slice the garlic. Heat your olive oil in a pan over medium-low heat and fry the garlic, chilli, cumin seeds, and cinnamon for 2-3 min, until fragrant. Add in the ground coriander, curry powder and tomato purée, then cook for 1 min.

Finely dice your tomatoes. Next, add the tomatoes to the pan along with the water and the drained chickpeas. Cook out for 10-15 min until the tomatoes have reduced and thickened the sauce. Season to taste. It shouldn’t be as wet as a curry but will have a concentrated sauce holding it all together! If it needs to simmer a little longer that's fine.
