  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 large red onion diced

  • 400g canned tomatoes diced

  • 400g canned chickpeas drained

  • 3 garlic cloves thinly sliced

  • 2 tbsp garam masala

  • 1 tsp curry powder

  • 400g canned coconut milk

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method:

  1. First, add the olive oil to a saucepan over medium heat.
