Chick Pea and Potato Curry for under 3
- 1 kg (2.2lbs) potatoes peeled and cut into big dice
- 1 tin chick peas
- 1 tin coconut milk
- 1 2.5cm lump of fresh ginger grated finely
- 2 medium onions sliced finely
- 2 cloves garlic sliced finely
- 3 tsp curry powder or garam marsala
- 2 tsp turmeric
- 1 1/2 a lemon
- 2 tsp oil
- Put a large heavy-based saucepan over medium heat and fry onions until just starting to brown.
- Meanwhile, parboil the potatoes for about 6 minutes - they must not be fully cooked and falling to bits!
- Drain, reserving some of their liquid.
- Add the garlic and ginger to the onion pan and cook for one minute.
- Add the powdered spices and cook briefly, stirring to mix them in.
- Pour in the coconut milk and stir to mix, then simmer gently.
- Add the parboiled potatoes and stir gently to coat in coconut and spices.
- Drain and rinse the tinned chick peas, and add them.
- Cook at a gentle bubbling heat.
- If the sauce begins to look a bit dry, add a few spoonfuls of reserved potato water.
- When the potatoes are cooked through, check and correct the seasoning - it will need salt - and sharpen with the juice of the 1/2 lemon.
