  2. 2

    Stir in the trinidad curry powder and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add the potatoes, chickpeas and 300ml water, cover and simmer for 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.

  4. 4

    Mash a few of the chickpeas against the side of the pot to thicken the sauce slightly, then simmer for a final 5 minutes.
