Thinly slice the onion and garlic, finely chop the carrot.
Heat the oil in a large saucepan and gently sauté the onion and garlic for about 5 minutes. Add the carrot bits and sauté for another 3 minutes, then add the spices and stir for a few seconds.
Add the tomatoes, and using the tin, add a couple of cans of water, then the stock cube or powder.
Add the bay leaf and star anise. Bring to the boil and cook for 15 minutes until you get a nice, thick stew.
Drain the chickpeas and add to the stew together with the Quorn cubes. Cook for another 12 minutes, then stir in the coriander leaves and serve.
