This is a quick curry that is perfect for a speedy dinner. Great on its own or with rice, chips, or – like I have included here – a quick pan fried naan bread. I developed this speedy store cupboard recipe for the NEC Caravan, Camping and Motorhome show live food demo.
Ingredients (serves 4)
- 2 tbsp olive oil

Optional Extras
- 2 Chopped fresh tomatoes
- 2 red chillies thinly sliced lengthways
- 3 Handfuls fresh baby spinach

- Sautée onions for five minutes until soft.
- Add the garlic, chilli, and ginger with the curry powder. Cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the tomatoes, chickpeas, and coconut milk. Bring to the boil and then reduce to a simmer.
