Instructions

Step 1

Heat a deep pot over medium-high heat. Add oil and cumin seeds, garlic. Add onions once garlic turns from white to light brown.

Step 2

Once onions have turned a bit transparent mix in the tomato paste, turmeric, garam masala, chillies, remaining spices and chickpeas (garbanzo beans). Make sure it's all coated well. If your mix is looking a bit dry add in a tbsp of oil. Cook for 4-5 minutes.

Step 3

Add in cilantro and water. Turn the heat up on high and bring to a boil. Then lower the heat to medium-low and cook for 10-15 minutes longer. Until it turns into a stew-like consistency.

Step 4

Remove from heat and serve with white basmati rice, brown rice, chapatis, roti or Puri.
