Add the tomato, cumin, ground coriander, chickpea curry spice blend, and Turkish red pepper flakes. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, until the oil separates from the sauce.

3

Add the chickpeas

15 min

Add the cooked chickpeas and one 200 ml measure of water. Cover and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. Mash some of the chickpeas to thicken the sauce.
