Ingredients

1 tablespoon oil
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon peeled, grated fresh ginger
2 medium garlic cloves, grated
1/2 cup tomato purée
1 teaspoon garam masala or channa masala
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
Salt, to taste
1 cup cooked chickpeas
1/2 cup water
Preparation

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the onion, ginger, and garlic. Cook until the onions have softened, about 3-4 minutes.
When the onions have softened, add tomato puree and all the spices. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 5-6 minutes.

Once the tomatoes are cooked, add the chickpeas and water. Mix well and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the flavors have mixed and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes.
Serve the chana masala with rice, naan, or chapatis.
