The Magical Recipe Tree

Welcome

The idea for storing my most used recipes online came after a period of having my recipes and cookbooks tucked away in storage. The ease and convenience of having them available at the push of an internet button was simply to good to resist! As much as I love cooking and experimenting in the kitchen, I didn't create the majority of recipes on this site, I merely love to use them, but I'll attempt to document every recipe I know the origin of.
As a pescetarian, the selection of recipes will reflect this- but there will still be a few family recipes included from my pre-pesc years... though I aim to convert these to pesc-friendly dishes at some stage!

Butter Chickpeas


  • 1 medium-sized onion
  • 2 Tbsp canola oil
  • 1 tsp (1-2 cloves) minced garlic
  • 2 tsp each curry powder and garam masala
  • 1 tsp each ground ginger and cumin
  • 300g can condensed tomato soup
  • 1/2 cup cream
  • 300g can chickpeas
  • 200g boiled new potatoes, cubed
  • 1-2 Tbsp chopped coriander leaf, fresh or bottled
  • 1/2 tsp salt


Chop the onion very finely while the oil heats in a large pan.
Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is beginning to brown.
Stir in the curry powder and garam masala, ginger and cumin.
Continue to cook, stirring frequently, for one to two minutes longer.

Tip in the soup, cream, drained chickpeas and potatoes and leave the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes.
Add the chopped coriander and salt to taste.

Serve over steamed basmati rice accompanied with naan bread and a selection of chutneys and/or pickles.
