In a large non-stick dutch oven, sauti the onions in olive oil for

and continue to sauti for at least 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the bell pepper, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, and cayenne to
the pot and sauti for another minute or so. Stir in the tomatoes,
chick peas, and currents or raisins, and simmer, covered, for about
15 minutes, until the vegetables are just tender. Add the lemon
