Ingredients

• 250 grams Dried chickpeas
• 1 large Onion
• 2 medium Tomato
• 1 tablespoon Ginger-garlic paste
• 1 small Green chili
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 2 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0 Cooking spray
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the dried chickpeas thoroughly and soak them in ample water for at least 8 hours or overnight.

Step 2

Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Add them to a pressure cooker with enough water to cover them and cook until they are soft, about 6-8 whistles. If using a stovetop, they may take about an hour to cook.

Step 3

Finely chop the onion, tomatoes, and green chili. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and coat it evenly with cooking spray. Add cumin seeds and sauté until they begin to sizzle and turn aromatic.

Step 5

Add the chopped onion and sauté until they turn golden brown, stirring frequently, to avoid sticking.

Step 6

Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and sliced green chili. Cook until the raw smell disappears, about 2 minutes.

Step 7

Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they turn soft and the oil starts to separate from the mixture.

Step 8

Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, and red chili powder. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 9

Drain the cooked chickpeas and add them to the pan. Mix until the chickpeas are well coated with the spices.

Step 10

Add around 1 cup of water to the mixture to make a gravy. Cover and simmer on low heat for approximately 15 minutes, allowing the chickpeas to absorb the flavors.

Step 11

Add garam masala and salt. Stir and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 12

Turn off the heat. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and a spoonful of lemon juice for brightness.

Step 13

Serve hot with steamed rice or low-fat roti for a complete meal.
