Hand-drawn steps

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add the can of diced tomatoes, along with the chickpeas. Stir well to combine.

Sprinkle in the garam masala, cumin, coriander, turmeric, red chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Once cooked, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper as desired.

Remove from heat and squeeze in the juice of one lemon, stirring well to incorporate.

Tiny tips

For a creamier texture, mash some of the chickpeas while cooking.

Adjust the heat by reducing or increasing the amount of red chili powder.

Serve warm for the best flavor.
