As suggested by Caitiesus, since a lot of us seem to be planning to diet/eat healthier this year (let's see if we can do it!), and because everyone loves food anyway because food is amazing, here is a thread for us to share recipes
They don't have to be healthy or anything, but I'll start with a healthy one...
Here is my recipe for a healthy chickpea curry (serves 2-3 people):
Note: quite a bit of it, such as herbs, chilli, garlic, yogurt and coconut can just be done to taste. You don't even have to use both yogurt and coconut, but I would recommend at least using one of them though to thicken up the sauce.

Fry one whole chopped onion for about 5 mins at a medium heat ...(or until it's going yellowish-brown)
Add chopped garlic and a small green chilli and fry for a few mins (garlic and chilli is to taste, but I use a couple of cloves minimum and a whole small green chilli). Adding a bit of ginger here is also good, but tbh I can never be bothered.
Add approx 2 teaspoons cumin, 2 of tumeric and 1 of coriander and fry at a low heat for a couple of mins (not too long because if you burn them they will taste bad). Don't worry about the amounts being exact, I just tend to wang a load in at vaguely those proportions until it tastes/smells right.
Add a tin of chopped tomatoes, about an inch of a block of creme of coconut and a couple of spoons of plain yogurt. Add a chopped pepper/peas/spinach/whatever if you want some veg. Leave it simmering at a low heat for about 30 mins/as long as you can be bothered really, giving it the odd stir.
About 5 mins before it's finished, add a tin of chickpeas.
Serve with rice and/or naan/roti/chapatti/whatever your favourite bread is. Obviously to keep it healthy go for boiled rice or roti, but it's up to you. Also, it's nice if you stick a dollop or 2 of the plain yogurt on the plate. It's particularly good if you find the curry is getting a bit hot for you.
Ta-da!
