Equipment

  • Slowcooker

Preparation

  1. Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with a bit of olive oil or spray and set aside

  2. Combine all ingredients from onion to salt together until well-combined.

  3. Place the tofu and chickpeas in the base of the slow cooker and pour the sauce ontop. Gently mix together until everything is combined, making sure the tofu and chickpeas are well coated.

  4. 4 hrs

    Place the bay leaf on top and cover, cooking for 4 hours on high (or 8 hours on low)

  5. 30 mins

    When done, in a small bowl combine the coconut milk, cornstarch and gently stir into the mixture. Cook for an additional 20-30 minutes until thickened. (I use this time to cook the rice/naan!)

  6. Add in the lemon juice and stir once more before serving. I love this on steamed rice, some naan and maybe a little extra chopped cilantro!

Notes

This makes 4 large servings or 6 normal servings, especially if you are serving with rice and naan. But! Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, and the leftovers are so good for lunch.
