This creamy vegetarian version of coronation chicken is slightly adapted from the original recipe printed in The Oz family kitchen cookbook.

It is quick to throw together, cheap to make and when wrapped up in a flatbread or soft tortilla with a few salad leaves and diced tomato it makes a very satisfying and tasty lunch or snack.

I find cheap corner shop curry powder works best – the ones that just say curry powder and have a slightly fruity taste.

Don’t break down the chickpeas too much, you want to retain a nice coarse texture.

The spread can be easily adapted from vegetarian to vegan simply by using a vegan mayonnaise.
