mushroom and chickpea curry



I love this curry, It's filling and syn free.

Ingredients

  • Low calorie cooking spray
  • 1 onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 450g mushrooms
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1-2 chillies, deseeded and chopped
  • 1 x 400g can chopped tomatoes
  • 120g fresh spinach leaves, trimmed and washed
  • 400g cooked/tinned chick peas
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander

Method

  1. Spray a large saucepan with low calorie cooking spray and place over a medium heat. Add the onions, garlic and mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, until softened and golden.
  2. Add the spices and chillies, stir well and cook gently for about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and spinach and reduce the heat to a bare simmer.
  3. Simmer gently for 5 minutes and then add the chick peas. Continue simmering for 5-10 minutes, until the spinach has wilted and the tomato liquid has reduced.
  4. Season to taste with salt and pepper and then stir in the chopped coriander.
