1

Start by soaking the chickpeas overnight in a bowl filled with water to cover them. The next day, rinse and drain.

Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté for about 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown.

3

Add minced ginger and garlic, and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

4

Stir in the chopped tomatoes and green chili, cooking for about 5 to 8 minutes until the tomatoes break down.

5

Add cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Cook for 2 minutes, mixing well.

6

Incorporate the soaked chickpeas into the mixture and pour in 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes until the chickpeas are tender and the sauce thickens.

7

Sprinkle garam masala into the curry, stir, and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes.

8

Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
