Quick veggie curry

My maternity leave has started! Hurrah!! And in true me style instead of resting like I had planned I've been out on day trips with Jojo, trying to maximise the last weeks of 'jojo and mummy' time before the new baby comes along.
Today was a lovely but very tiring day trip to Hampton court on the boat from
Kingston with a tasty picnic in the gardens (humous, crudités, cheese sandwiches and fruit! Yum!) as a result dinner needed to be quick and easy. I also haven't been shopping this week (too lazy!) so it was a bit of an 'if it's night'. This quick, cheap veggie curry served with brown rice ticked all the boxes....

Boil the kettle and put on some rice.
Fry and onion and some garlic in a little oil. Add a couple spoons of curry paste of your choice (or curry powder works just as well), throw in a tin of chickpeas (drained), a tin of chopped tomatoes, and whatever leftover veg you might have hanging around in the fridge (today we had spring greens, some suspect looking carrots, a potato and some courgettes but spinach and broccoli are my faves for this one!). Simmer for 10mins or until veg is softened and chickpeas are cooked. Adding a spoonful of natural yoghurt or creme fraiche will make it creamier, or a spoon of chilli flakes and a bit of tomato purée will up the spice for more tomatoey curry.
