Ingredients
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil or ghee
- 2 Red Onions chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp ginger paste
- 3 small serrano chili peppers seeded and finely diced
- 2 tbsp chana masala powder (optional)
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp garam masala seasoning
- 2 tsp ground turmeric
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 28 oz diced tomatoes (See Note 1)
- 30 oz chickpeas (2 cans, drained - See Note 2)
- 1 tsp amchur (dried mango powder, See Note 3)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice (optional)
Garnish
- chopped cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- In a large stock pot or skillet add the oil and sauté the onions until almost golden.
- Next add the garlic, ginger paste, chiles, chana masala (optional), cumin, turmeric, garam masala and salt. Stirring to mix thoroughly.
- Add diced tomatoes and chickpeas (reserve 1 can chickpea liquid) to the onions. Slowly simmer for 30 minutes, uncovered.
- Add the mango powder (optional), lemon juice and stir to incorporate completely. Season to taste. If the mixture is too thick feel free to dilute with water or chickpea liquid.
- Serve with garnish of chopped cilantro and lemon wedges.
Notes
- If using fresh Roma tomatoes: removing the skins is optional. To remove tomato skins, cut a small X on the opposite end of the stem side, then cook the tomato in boiling water for 3 minutes. Remove and place into a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Using a paring knife peel back the skin from the X cut, discard the skins and dice the tomatoes.
- If you choose to use dried chickpeas instead of canned, follow the instructions in my post, how to cook chickpeas.
- Lemon juice may be substituted for amchur, the sweet and sour mango powder, if unavailable. Substitute three tablespoons of lemon juice for one teaspoon of amchur. May also substitute 1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses as well.
