Curried Chickpeas [Veg]

Curried Chickpeas

1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp coriander powder
2 tbsp sunflower oil
Salt
1 16 oz tin of chickpeas, drained
1 tbsp lemon juice
Few cilantro leaves, chopped

1. Mix all the spice powders with about 4 tablespoons of water and reserve.

2. Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and pour in the spice liquid. Let it sizzle for one minute or so and add the salt and the chickpeas.

3. Pour in about 2/3 cup of water and bring to the boil. Simmer for a couple of minutes, crushing a few of the peas with the back of the spoon to thicken the sauce. This should be fairly liquid but have some consistency. Take off the heat and serve hot, sprinkled with the lemon juice and cilantro
