Ingredients

2 cups cooked chickpeas

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 teaspoon cumin seeds

1 teaspoon coriander powder

1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

1/4 teaspoon red chili powder

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger

2 medium tomatoes, diced

1/4 cup tomato paste

Salt to taste

2 cups water

Freshly chopped cilantro leaves for garnish

Directions

Place the chickpeas in a medium bowl and cover with warm water by 2 inches. Let soak for 12 hours. Transfer soaked chickpeas and their liquid to a pressure cooker. Seal and heat over medium-low heat to low pressure. Cook until chickpeas easily break down, about 25 minutes after they come to pressure. Release pressure and set aside to cool.
