🥘 How To Make Jamie Oliver Curried Chickpeas

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by peeling and finely chopping the onions. Make sure the chickpeas are drained and rinsed thoroughly. Slice the green chilies finely. Having these ingredients prepared will make the cooking process smoother.
2. Cook the Spices and Onions: Heat the sunflower oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds. Wait until they start to crackle, then stir in the asafoetida. Add the chopped onions to the saucepan and fry them until they are transparent and start to turn golden around the edges. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Tomatoes and Pastes: To the onions, add the chopped tinned tomatoes. Cook this mixture for about 5 minutes. Next, add the ginger, garlic, and green chili paste, along with the red chili powder, turmeric, dhana jeera powder, and sugar if using. Include a pinch of sea salt. Stir everything together and cook for another 5 minutes to combine the flavors.
4. Simmer the Chickpeas: Stir the rinsed chickpeas into the pan and pour in 250 ml (about 1 cup) of water to create a thick sauce. Cover the pan with a lid, lower the heat, and let it simmer for 5 to 7 minutes. This will help the chickpeas absorb the spices and become flavorful.
5. Add Final Touches and Serve: Once the chickpeas are cooked, turn off the heat. Sprinkle the finely chopped coriander and garam masala over the chickpeas. If you like, add more finely sliced green chilies for extra heat. Stir everything together one last time. Serve this dish hot, and enjoy the rich flavors of the curried chickpeas.

💭 Recipe Tips:

• Change the Spiciness: You can make this dish more or less spicy by changing how much green and red chilli you use. Start with a small amount and add more if you like it hot.
• Let It Cook Slowly: Let the chickpeas cook slowly so they get soft and tasty. This helps them soak up all the good flavors.
• Keep Mixing: Stir everything often while it cooks. This stops it from sticking to the pot and makes sure everything cooks well together.
• Hot and Ready: Serve the chickpeas hot for the best flavor. They are great with naan bread or rice.
