This recipe is from Tasty. Shawn likes this dish so I decided to make it for him. Because I was also going to eat some, I substituted the onion with onion powder. It came out well and our apartment smelled delicious for hours after making it. However, the prep work was lengthy.
I diced the jalapeño pepper.
And prepared the ginger and garlic.
Those went into the pan to cook.
The garam masala, turmeric, salt and pepper were measured out.
Dry spices added to the garlic, ginger, and jalapeño.
Diced some tomatoes.
Drained and rinsed chickpeas from two cans.
Tomatoes and chickpeas added to the pot mixture. Tomatoes will create some water for the dish, but you also need to add some water. I used my judgment for that part.
The last step after the above mixture cooked for 15 minutes. Was to add the lemon juice and cilantro.
After the last cooking step and adding the cilantro and lemon juice, I cooked it a little bit more. I wanted less liquid in the final dish.
