    •    1 cup of dried chickpeas soaked overnight and cooked or 800g canned chickpeas drained (2 x 400g cans pre cooked)

    •    2tbs Vegetable cooking oil (Sunflower ideal)

    •    1/2 Jar ollo foods ‘Mild Curry Sauce’ or ‘Goan Curry Sauce’

    •    40g coriander or flat leaf parsley chopped fine

    •    10g sugar

    •    1 ½ tsp of Salt or to taste ( if you can get ‘black' or ‘rock' salt use that for better flavour)

    •    1-2 Finely chopped green chillies (optional but recommended)

Preparation & Cooking

If you are using dried chickpeas, you will need to soak them for at least 8 hrs (overnight). If you have a pressure cooker then place the soaked chick peas in sufficient water to cover them, add 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda with tea bag and cook on pressure for 1 minute. Non pressure cooking instructions are to boil with the bicarb of soda and 1 tea bag until tender.

In a suitably sized pan add the oil and on a high heat fry the curry sauce for 2-3minutes. Turn off the heat and then add the drained chickpeas. Transfer to a dish and add the remaining ingredients, gently mix. Garnish of slices of lemon or lime and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
