To make the korma: Fry the onions over medium heat in vegetable oil until soft. Add the ginger and garlic and fry for a further minute. Add the Cape Herb & Spice Korma Spice and fry for a further minute. Add the coconut milk, tomato, salt, chilli, water and butternut. Cover with a lid and simmer over low heat until the butternut is soft, then add the chickpeas and warm through.
