Method

  1. Heat oil. Soften onion with cumin seeds 6 to 8 minutes. Add garlic, ginger and green chilli until fragrant.
  2. Stir in turmeric, chilli powder, ground coriander and garam masala 1 minute.
  3. Add canned tomatoes and drained chickpeas. Simmer uncovered 20 minutes until thick like soup, adding a splash of water if needed.
  4. Finish with lemon juice and salt. Scatter coriander and serve.

Shopping tip

Grão de bico em lata is a pantry staple. Amchur (dried mango) is uncommon; finish with lemon as BBC and Cloake do.
