  9. 1large can whole tomatoes (about 400 grams drained)
  10. Fresh cilantro

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    The night before, soak the chickpeas. On the day of cooking, put the chickpeas in a pressure cooker, covered with water, for 1 hour. You can also buy a can of chickpeas. Drain them, rinse very well, and set aside.

  2. 2

    Finely chop the onion. Set aside.

  3. 3

    In a mortar, add five peeled garlic cloves, the piece of ginger, cumin and coriander seeds, chili pepper, salt, and the green bell pepper in strips. Crush well until you get a paste.

  4. 4

    Put a pan with a layer of sunflower oil (or coconut oil if you have it). When it heats up, add the onion and cook until it becomes translucent.

  5. 5

    Now add the garlic and spice paste you prepared. Stir, add the tandoori or garam masala spice mix and the turmeric. Cook for 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly.

  6. 6

    Now add the tomatoes and reserve the juice from the can. Use a spoon to break them up, but leave some chunks for texture. Cook until they lose liquid.

  7. 7

    Add the drained chickpeas and a bit of the tomato juice. Cover and cook on low heat for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest for about half an hour.

  8. 8

    Before serving, grate half a lemon on top and add some fresh cilantro. You can serve it with basmati rice.
