Speedy Tikka Chickpeas + Mint Raita

This is what we call lazy luxury. It’s got all the flavours and comfort you would crave from a curry, but without the long list of spices and is ready in less than 30 mins! 

We’re by no means saying this is an authentic Indian dish BUT it sure hits to the spot when you’re after a quick curry-fix. You could even throw in a few handfuls of spinach or serve with okra, to up the green goodness. 


Not into tikka? Sub in any curry paste that takes your fancy.

Directions

1

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Add the tomatoes and cook for 5-6 minutes until they are blistered, soft and slightly charred. Reduce the heat to low, add the garlic and fry off for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

2

Add the tikka paste (or curry paste of choice) and fry off for 1-2 minutes, then pour in the chickpeas with their bean stock. Bubble away until reduced by half. Season to taste.

3

While this simmers, add all of the ingredients for the raita in a bowl with a pinch of salt and mix to combine.

4

To serve, spoon the chickpeas into bowls. Top with the yoghurt and scatter over the remaining coriander. Serve with warm rice or naans, and a dollop of mango chutney too, if you like!
