Chop the cauliflower into small florets. Chop the courgette into small bite size pieces so they cook quickly. Finely chop the scallions. Cover the peas in hot water to thaw
In a large flat non-stick pan heat 1 tbsp of oil on a high heat, when hot add all the veg (except the peas) and salt and cook for 2-3 minutes add your chosen spice mix ,reduce the heat a little and stir so all the veg is nicely coated in the spice mix. Add 1 tbsp of tamari and 3 tbsp of water to the pan, cover and cook for 1-2 minutes or until the veg is cooked
Add the coconut milk and chickpeas if using and bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer for a few minutes. Taste and season if needed to your liking. Serve with wholegrain rice or your favourite naan bread, toasted pita or sides,
