CHICKPEA CURRY (VEGAN -PRESSURE COOKER)

Steps:

• Heat the oil in the pressure cooker over high heat. Cook the cumin seeds for approx 30 seconds or until they start to crackle.
• Add the sliced onion and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. The onion should be golden and soft.
• Reduce the heat and stir in the garlic and other spices.
• Add all remaining ingredients (except garnish).
• Close and lock the lid. Bring to high pressure over high heat. Reduce heat to stabilise the pressure and cook for 15 minutes.
• Release pressure and serve with a sprig of coriander or a sprinkle of parsley. Serve with steamed basmati rice, naan or pappadums.
• NOTE: to cook dried beans. Overnight soak, drain water, place into pressure cooker, cover with fresh water and cook on low pressure for 10 minutes. I soaked 2 cups dried chickpeas and result was a little over 4 cups cooked beans. Canned/tinned chickpeas can be used if desired- be sure to drain and wash them well.
