Method

In a large pot, add the onion and olive oil and fry on a medium heat until the onion softens.

Working quickly, add the potato, carrots, lemon zest, garamassala, cinnamon, chilli flakes and cayenne pepper. Stir until fragrant (about a minute). Add the tomato paste and stir through. Pour in 1.5 litres of water and bring to the boil. Simmer on a medium heat for 5-10 minutes, or until the potatoes start to become tender.

Add the chickpeas and spaghetti and cook until the spaghetti is al dente (7-8 minutes, or as per packet instructions). Season (I add a generous pinch of salt), and serve in large bowls.

Break one egg into each of the bowls immediately on serving (the soup must be piping hot). Stir the egg around with a fork for a minute and then allow to cook. Once you can see the egg forming in small pieces in the soup and the broth becoming creamy, it’s ready to eat!

Serve with a generous squeeze of lemon and plenty of fresh parsley.
