Ingredients

    8 garlic cloves, chopped
    2 jalapeƱos, chopped
    One 2-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
    1/4 cup vegetable oil
    3 onions, cut into 1/4-inch dice
    2 tablespoons ground cumin
    1 tablespoon ground coriander
    3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    1 1/2 cups canned diced tomatoes
    3 cups chickpeas OR Two 15-ounce cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
    2 cups water
    Salt to taste
    2 tablespoons cilantro leaves


Directions

In a mini food processor, combine the garlic, jalapeƱos and ginger and process to a paste.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil. Add the onions and cook over moderately high heat until sizzling, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to moderate and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are browned, about 7 minutes.

Add the garlic paste and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the cumin, coriander and cayenne and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and simmer over moderate heat until thickened, about 6 minutes. Add the chickpeas and water and simmer until the chickpeas are flavored with the gravy, about 8 minutes.

Season the chickpeas with salt, garnish with the cilantro and serve.

Serve with yogurt and naan.
