Background
This curried chickpea and fish stew is an Asian inspired curry - combining South-East Asian and Indian ingredients. I used a mixture of white fish and prawns, but almost any seafood would be fine. I made it mild, so children could enjoy it too - but do add a chilli, if you want it more spicy! As for your greens, you can make it with spring greens, broccoli, green beans, kale, spinach, broad beans, peas, mangetouts etc. Serve it with jasmine rice.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp oil
- 1 onion
- 1 medium carrot
- 150g greens of your choice ( see above),

- 1 can of chickpeas, drained
- 2 white fillet fish ( cod or haddock) or 200g raw prawns
- 1 red chillii (optional)

Instructions
- Finely chop the onion, garlic and carrot. Cut the lemongrass in half (remove the hard outer layer first). Slice the chilli, if used. Slice or chop the greens of your choice.
