Chickpea Curry
I havent made this before but found it online and thought I would try it:
1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil (i plan to use chilli infused olive oil)
1 onion finely chopped
2 garlic cloves finely chopped
1 tsp mustard seed (i dont have this so wont be using, I might put in a little garam masala instead)
1/2 tsp chilli flakes
1tsp cumin
1tsp turmeric
1tsp coriander seed
1 tbsp salt (I will not be adding this!!! maybe a pinch but not a whole tablespoon!! Thats just because I do not naturally add salt to food, not because I am tracking sodium)
1 can chickpeas
1 can tomatoes
Coriander/Cilantro for garnish (optional)
(I will be adding some veggies to this: mushrooms, butternut squash, courgette)

Method:
1. heat oil in a large pot, add onions and garlic and cook until transclusent, about 5 mins
2. add the spices to the pot and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute
3. add the chickpeas and tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally for about 20 mins
