The Method
Select the SAUTE function, add the cumin seeds and chilli flakes and heat for a few seconds until they start to jump around and release their aroma.
Add the oil and onion and stir regularly for ~3 minutes until the onion begins to soften, then cancel the SAUTE function. To save time you can leave the sauté step out, but we would recommend using this feature to maximise flavour.
Add the lentils, stock and tomatoes and stir to combine.
Put the lid on and select the SMOOTH function.
When the program has finished, open the lid and select the SAUTE function again. Add the chickpeas and stir for ~2 minutes until they have warmed through, then cancel the SAUTE function and season to taste before serving.
