Ingredients

  • tbsp Vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, chopped
  • ½ red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
  • 5 cm piece root ginger, chopped
  • 1 aubergine, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp tamari
  • 400g can chick peas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tbsp curry powder
  • ½ tbsp ground turmeric
  • 300ml reduced-fat coconut milk
  • 400g can chopped tomatoes
  • 115g baby spinach
  • ½ lemon, juice
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp toasted flaked almonds
  • crushed chilli flakes (optional)
  • 2 wholemeal pittas, toasted and cut into soldiers

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan and cook the onion, garlic, chilli and ginger for 2-3 minutes, stirring regularly.

  2. Add the aubergine and tamari and cook for 5 minutes, continuing to stir. Add 5 tbsp water and cook for a further 3-4 minutes. The aubergine should be soft; if it isn’t, cook for a little longer.

  3. Add the chick peas, curry powder, turmeric, coconut milk, chopped tomatoes, spinach, lemon juice and black pepper. Bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. Divide between 4 bowls and garnish with the toasted flaked almonds and chilli flakes, if using. Serve with the toasted pitta soldiers.
