Servings 2
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium brown onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 can diced tomatoes, with juices
- 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1-2 teaspoons garam masala
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander, optional
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger, optional
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat, then toss in chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté for 3 to 5 minutes, until the onions turn translucent.
Add diced tomatoes and chickpeas. Season with garam masala, salt, turmeric and other spices (if using).
Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and let it simmer on medium to low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens considerably.
Serve with rice, naan or bread rolls. It’s best right away, but you can also save it in an airtight container for the next day.
