Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp olive oil

- ½ tsp turmeric
- ¾ tsp salt

- 1 can whole-peeled tomatoes
- 3 cups of cooked chickpeas
- 1-2 cups of brown basmati rice
Method:
- Bring a large pot of water to boil, pour in the rice, and boil for 30 minutes. Turn off the heat, drain the rice, return to the pot and steam for 10 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff the rice, with a fork and season with salt and taste.
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Once hot, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the cumin seeds. Toast for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.

- Add the tomato and juices and raise the heat to medium-high to bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for mixture for a further 10 minutes to allow flavours to develop.
- Serve the mixture whilst hot on top of the rice if desired with fresh coriander.
