    Chickpeas are having a real moment right now but in South Asian households, they have always been a pretty big deal and in this Indian Chickpea, Coconut and Lemon Stew, they are the most important part of the dish. I think their popularity is in direct correlation (This is GCSE Maths in action) to the Vegan movement that is taking place at the mo.

    Why I love it

    This dish is tangy, creamy, comforting, nourishing, savoury, nutritious and filling. The base is made up of onions, garlic and ginger, and then a stock is added along with the chickpeas, lemon and coconut milk. This is then simmered for a while so it becomes a delicious, thick creamy stew.

    Yesterday, I topped mine with lime pickled onions and toasted cumin seeds and OMG... it was the best Iftar ever. I mean, I have had it loads of times before but everything tastes better in Ramadan. Absence makes the heart grow fonder I guess. 

    By the way, I am aware that there are a flood of recipes coming out at the moment that are very similar to this. Think, some type of onion, chickpeas, coconut milk, lemons, herbs. 

    Taking a break

    I am taking a little break soon. As I always do for the last 10 days of Ramadan. Just to get super focussed and give some much needed fuel to my soul. I hope everyone who is taking part, is loving Ramadan. I cannot believe that we are already past the halfway mark. To me, Ramadan is a time for rejuvenation, growth and contemplation and I don't want it to go by without taking full advantage of it. 

    Then after Ramadan, I am hoping to lift the breaks off the Self Love project that I have started to work on. A project that actually really means so much to me. I hope that you will support me along the journey to help people worldwide to love themselves, be kinder to themselves, to honour themselves and to thrive.
