1. Heat a little oil in a large saucepan or casserole and add the cumin, paprika and ginger and stir.
2. Add the vegetables and fry for 5 minutes, keeping them moving so they brown evenly.
3. Add 250ml water, the saffron (if using), tomatoes and some seasoning, then bring to a simmer.
4. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, then stir in the chickpeas and cook uncovered for a further 10 minutes until the veg is tender.

Low GI

Eat chickpeas and you get a nice low-blood glucose curve. Mixed with the peppers, pumpkin and tomatoes, it helps you avoid sugar peaks and troughs.

  I added additional root veg - sweet potato and parsnip - and a vegetable stock. This went down well as a main course for vegetarians and side dish for meat eaters - so all in all a good basic dish but, for us, it needed a bit more to it.

  This is now a firm family favourite. I add sliced choritzo for added spice or serve with a plain grilled chicken breast. It always goes down a treat.

  I made this and it went down a storm and was easy to make too. I must admit I did add some extraa spices to give it a bit more punch
