  2. Vegetable Oil 1/2 cup
  3. Onion 1 thinly sliced 
  4. Garlic Cloves 5-6 minced
  5. Ginger 1 inch grated
  6. Green Chilis 2-3

  12. Coconut Milk 1 cup
  13. Coriander Leaves a handful 
  14. Sesame Seeds 2 tbsp

METHOD:

Serving size: 5-6

Wash and soak the chickpeas overnight. Boil the chickpeas in a deep pot for approx. 25-30 minutes. Alternatively, pressure cook them for 5-6 whistles. 

Heat a pan and dry roast the sesame seeds until brown. Set aside.

Heat oil in a large pot on medium heat. Add the sliced onions, green chilis, and garlic. Cook until garlic is golden brown, and onions are translucent.

Add the grated ginger, chili powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder and garam masala powder. Stir and cook for 30 seconds.

Add the tomato paste and mix until combined. Add the boiled chickpeas and the coconut milk. Season with salt and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes on very low heat.

The gravy should neither be too thick nor too thin. If too thick, thin out using half a cup of water. 

Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and toasted sesame seeds. 

Serve curried chickpeas with plain cooked rice.
