Method

  • step 1

    Tip two thirds of the chickpeas into a bowl and add the curry powder, cumin seeds, garlic, lemon zest and juice, eggs and milk. Blitz with a hand blender until smooth, then stir in the remaining chickpeas with the coriander and chopped chilli.

  • step 2

    Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan. Tip in the curried mix, stir, then leave to cook over a low heat for 5 mins until set. Turn out onto a baking sheet lined with baking parchment, then slide back into the pan and cook on the other side for about 3 mins more.

  • step 3

    Meanwhile, mix all of the sambal ingredients together. Turn the chickpea cake out onto a plate, top with the sambal and a few coriander leaves, and serve cut into wedges.

This recipe just doesn’t work unfortunately - like other reviewers, it completely fell apart in the pan and I was left with something akin to dry scrambled eggs.

The chickpea cake was disappointingly bland and had a dry texture that I did not enjoy. I had even added extra spics and used a hot curry powder. However the sambal was delicious and so long as you eat the chickpea cake with a big forkful of sambal it tastes good. A yogurt raita would help…
