Heat the oil in a saucepan and add the cumin and cracked coriander seeds. Add the garlic and brown lightly. Follow with the onion and ginger and cook slowly until the onions have softened then add the salt. Add the turmeric and ground chili. Add the butternut squash and the courgette, and then add the water. Cook this until the squash and courgette have softened. Now add in the chickpeas, the green vegetables, and the tomatoes. Add the fresh coriander, stir through and adjust the seasoning.   Note   To cook dried chickpeas (weigh out half of the final weight you will need) Soak the chickpeas for at least 3 hours but preferably overnight with ½ tsp. bicarb/bread soda. Drain the chickpeas and place them in a pot with plenty of water and 1 tsp. bicarb/bread soda. Bring to the boil and simmer for 30 minutes then check to see if the chickpeas are cooked, they should still have a small bite to them. Leave them for longer if they are not cooked. Drain the chickpeas and they are ready for use.   Visit Our Shop

For the baked Alaska, place the water and sugar into a pan and bring to the boil. Skim the surface and wipe the sides of the pan with a wet pastry brush to remove any sugar crystals, and then increase the heat so that the syrup boils rapidly. Insert a sugar thermometer. When the sugar mixture reaches 110°C/225°F beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks are formed. When the sugar mixture reaches 121°C/250°F remove it from the heat. It will have formed a syrup. Turn the electric mixer onto the lowest setting then pour the sugar syrup into the egg whites in a thin, steady stream, continuing to beat until all the syrup is incorporated. Continue to beat at a slow speed until the mixture is almost cold, this can take up to 15 minutes.
