- Pour in the vegetable stock
- Pour in the drained chickpeas

Notes
If you’d like some spice, you can add in some chopped fresh red chilli when you add the garlic and ginger, or just sprinkle some dried red chilli flakes on when you serve it. You could replace the potato with butternut squash if you prefer, and some fresh, washed spinach stirred in just before serving is also delicious!
