Method
- Heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium heat and cook the onion for 5 mins. Stir in the spices, cook for 1 min, then season. Tip in the beans and juices and tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, then cook over a medium heat for 10 mins.
- Stir in the peppers and cook for 10 mins until thickened slightly. Spoon into the pittas with salad, yogurt and fresh coriander, if you like.
Tip: Make a double batch and freeze for a speedy midweek meal. Otherwise, the cooled chilli will last for 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
