Method
step 1
To make the spice mix, mix all the spices with ½ tsp salt in a small bowl and set aside. Heat the oil in a pan over a high heat and add the potatoes. Cook for 6-8 mins, stirring regularly, then mix in the chickpeas and the spice mix. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for a further 5 mins until the chickpeas and potatoes are golden and slightly crispy. Transfer to a serving plate.
step 2
To make the chutney, tip all the ingredients into a blender with ¼ tsp salt and blend until smooth, adding a tablespoon of water if needed. In a bowl, mix the yogurt and spices with ½ tsp salt and 50ml water.
step 3
Drizzle the yogurt over the chickpea mixture, then dot over the chutney. Sprinkle the red onions and pomegranate seeds over the top to serve.
