Heat the oil in a saucepan.
Add the onions and saute until brown spots appear.
Add the ginger and garlic and saute until the raw smell disappears.
Add the tomato paste, coriander powder, cayenne and turmeric. Stir well to mix. Add a tablespoon or two of water if the mixture is too dry.
Cook the tomato paste for 2-3 minutes, then add the chickpeas with any boiling liquid or about 3 cups of water. Add salt to taste.
Mix well and let the chickpea sauce cook about 15 minutes or until the sauce has a fairly thick texture but it is not dry. Use a potato masher to mash some of the chickpeas. Add the garam masala and coriander leaves, stir to mix, and take off the heat.
Spoon the sauce into a plate, arrange two of the patties on top, and serve hot with some chopped raw onion and sliced lemons, if desired.
