thinly slice (i think the thin slice works best here) a brown onion, chop two cloves of garlic and fry them in some oil with ground and whole cumin, ground coriander, mustard seeds and chilli flakes (all to taste).

add a big bunch of washed and chopped english spinach and three chopped fresh tomatoes, put the lid on and let it all simmer together. when it’s a bit soft, add a can of chickpeas/garbanzos and more ground cumin and salt to taste. stir through, and let it simmer for an hour or so, till the spinach is super soft and the chickpeas melt in your mouth.

serve with rice, yoghurt and a little naan or pita.
