Description
Indian-style chickpeas simmered in tomatoes, ginger-garlic paste, and spices are comfort food at its best, so you're going to want enough for lunches as well as dinner — and this recipe makes plenty. It goes together quickly using canned chickpeas as the base. The recipe is a Yummly original created by Prerna Singh.

Directions
- Finely chop the onion. Scrape peel from the ginger with a spoon, then coarsely chop ginger. In a food processor, blend the ginger and garlic together into a smooth paste, scraping the sides several times. (You'll have enough for this recipe plus extra for another use.) Set 2 tablespoons of ginger-garlic paste aside and refrigerate the remainder, covered, for up to one week.
- Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the cumin seeds, and when they start to sizzle, add the onion. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion turns golden brown, 12-14 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the seasonings.
- Combine the coriander, salt, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, and garam masala in a small bowl. Add to browned onions in pot and stir well. Cook, stirring, over medium heat, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Absolutely delicious, definitely having this again!

Too much water, and tomatoes for my taste. Came out very watery. The flavor was very good, but there was way too much water in the pot.

It was very tasty, but I would cut back on the salt, probably add none until the end, as the canned beans and tomatoes have plenty. This takes quite a while to make, but makes plenty to freeze some.

This is a gift for vegetarians. It has a nice depth of flavor. Don’t forget the brown rice.
