Chickpea curry

We've both been a bit worried about our crap diet recently (too much pizza) so we agreed that we were going to try and eat a bit healthier. Since I enjoy cooking I thought I'd get the ball rolling with something tasty and spicy.

I've found a really cool site that has loads of recipes to try so I thought I'd try a chickpea curry. I deviated slightly from the recipe on the site though (I can't help trying new things when I'm cooking). It was really nice to be cooking something healthy again and I have to say - it was really really tasty! I think there's a big difference in taste between something cooked from scratch and a jar of sauce.

The photo here is the finished product (that's a sprig of coriander on the top by the way).

Ingredients :

• Olive oil
• two small red onions (finely chopped)
  
• half a garlic bulb (I love garlic)
• an inch of ginger root (half grated, the other half finely diced)
  
• 4 whole cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon of cumin (I ground cumin seed as I didn't have the powdered form)
  
• a handful of finely chopped fresh coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 tin (400g) of chick peas (including the liquid)
• 1 tin (400g) of good chopped tomatoes (blended to a smooth paste)
