Ingredients

50ml Pure Mountain Canola oil
4 minced garlic cloves
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 inches of ginger, grated
salt and black pepper
1.5 tsp ground turmeric
1 teaspoon chilli flakes (optional)
850g soaked Pure Mountain chickpeas, or two cans
850ml coconut milk
500ml chicken broth (or vegetable)
1 bunch of greens โ€“ spinach and / or curly kale
1 bunch of mint, for serving
Yoghurt for serving
Dhania for serving
Chapati or naan for serving

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large pot, and add the garlic, onion, and ginger. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the onion is translucent and starting to brown a little.

  2. Add the turmeric, chili flakes, and chickpeas, and cook so that the chickpeas sizzle and fry a bit in the spices and oil. Theyโ€™ll start to break down and get a little crisp.

  3. Remove a cup full for your garnish.

  4. Use a wooden spoon to crush the chickpeas and then add the coconut milk and stock.

  5. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any bits on the bottom. Cook until the stew is thickened and flavors are coming together โ€“ about 35 minutes.

  6. Continue to cook until itโ€™s to your personal thickness desire!

  7. Add the greens and stir just enough to cook.

  8. Season again with salt and pepper.

  9. Serve in bowls, with a dollop of yogurt, a sprinkling of chili flakes, your reserved chickpeas, and some herbs.
