Description

A tasty, healthy veggie meal. Quick and easy to make.

Method

1
Peel and roughly chop the onion. Peel the pumpkin / squash / sweet potato and cut into chunks, about 2cm each. Roughly chop the tomatoes, or cut them in half if using cherry tomatoes. Put the oil in a saucepan / casserole dish over a medium heat, add onions and the ground cumin and ground coriander. Stir well and leave to cook for a few minutes until the onion starts to soften and the spices are fragrant (stir or put a lid on to avoid burning). Grate or finely chop the chilli and ginger, add to the pan and stir for about 1 minute. Add the vegetables and cook, stirring occasionally, for about about 5 minutes.
Make up the bouillon / stock, pour into the pan and stir in the Garam masala. Taste, and add a little salt and pepper if you think it needs it. Put the lid on the pan and leave to simmer for 8 - 10 minutes until the pumpkin / squash / sweet potato is tender, but not really soft. Drain and rinse the chickpeas and add with the apricots, then simmer for another 5 minutes. Add a little more water if you think it needs it. Add a squeeze of lime juice (to taste). Roughly chop the coriander and scatter over the top, to serve.
Serve with cous cous, or simply with crusty bread for dipping.
