Heat the oil in a deep pan. Finely chop the onion and fry it until golden.
Add the carrots to the pan and cook on low heat with a lid to soften.
Then add the sauce and the rest of the canned or fresh tomatoes, as well as the bell pepper, zucchini and chickpeas.
Cook on medium heat until the colour of the sauce changes from red to saturated orange and the bell pepper is tender.
Add the coconut milk and bring to a bubble, then cook for a few more minutes.
