Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large, deep frying pan or casserole dish over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic and ginger and cook for 5 mins until starting to soften, then add the plum tomatoes and roughly break them up with a wooden spoon. Simmer for 5 mins.
  2. Add the chickpeas and coconut milk and simmer for a further 10 mins until thickened, adding the peas for the final 5 mins of cooking time. Stir through most of the coriander and season to taste.
  3. Meanwhile, heat the naan according to the pack instructions. Divide the chickpea coconut curry between four shallow bowls and scatter with the remaining coriander. Serve with the naan and lime wedges on the side.
