Bombay Spiced Chickpeas & Tomatoes

The monthly newsletter from Schwartz [www.schwartz.co.uk] arrived in my inbox today. Schwartz is a well known brand of herbs and spices in the UK and I regularly use their products. They do some very good spice mixes that can be added to stir-fries for a quick meal. Their website has a wide range of recipes and is a site I rate very highly. This recipe for Bombay Spiced Chickpeas & Tomatoes was in the newsletter and I will be trying it out next week as my vegetarian meal-of-the-week.

This quick and easy vegetarian curry, spiced with a medium-heat Curry Powder, is delicious served with naan bread and Greek yoghurt, for a delicious mid-week meal for all the family. Serves 4.

Ingredients

• 2 onions, sliced

• 1 tbs sugar
• 125ml (4fl oz) water
• 6 mini naan bread
• 200g (7oz) Greek-style natural yoghurt

Method

1. Heat the butter in a frying pan and fry the onion over a low-heat for 10 minutes, until softened and golden brown.
