Cooking times

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

400g can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 inch piece of ginger, minced
400g can of chopped tomatoes
1 green chilli, finely chopped (optional for heat)
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp coriander seeds (or coriander powder)
1/2 tsp chilli powder (adjust to taste)
1 tsp garam masala
2 tbsp vegetable oil
Salt to taste
Fresh coriander leaves, for garnish
Water as needed

Method

Prep the Base: In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, and ginger, sautéing until the onions are golden brown and soft, about 5-7 minutes.
Add Spices: Toast the coriander seeds in a dry frying pan until fragrant then use a pestle and mortar to grind to a powder. Add the ground coriander seeds, turmeric, cumin, coriander, chilli powder, and salt to the onion mixture. Cook for another 2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.
Simmer the Chickpeas: Add the drained chickpeas, chopped tomatoes, and green chilli (if using) to the pan. Pour in enough water to just cover the chickpeas, and bring to a simmer. Cook uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
Finish with Garam Masala: Stir in the garam masala and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Serve hot with rice, naan, or your choice of bread.
