Indian Chickpea, Coconut and Lemon Stew

Safira
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 (Got my GCSE) to the Vegan movement that is taking place at the mo.
