1
Put a large heavy-based saucepan over medium heat and fry onions until just starting to brown.
2
Meanwhile, parboil the potatoes for about 6 minutes - they must not be fully cooked and falling to bits!
3
Drain, reserving some of their liquid.
4
Add the garlic and ginger to the onion pan and cook for one minute.
5
Add the powdered spices and cook briefly, stirring to mix them in.
6
Pour in the coconut milk and stir to mix, then simmer gently.
7
Add the parboiled potatoes and stir gently to coat in coconut and spices.
8
Drain and rinse the tinned chick peas, and add them.
9
Cook at a gentle bubbling heat.
10
If the sauce begins to look a bit dry, add a few spoonfuls of reserved potato water.
11
When the potatoes are cooked through, check and correct the seasoning - it will need salt - and sharpen with the juice of the 1/2 lemon.
