Ingredients
- 3 cups chickpeas (cooked or canned)
- 1 large onion (finely chopped)
- ¼ cup tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon cayenne (or paprika for less heat)
- ½ teaspoon turmeric
- 1 tablespoon ground coriander
- 2 teaspoon garam masala (or chana masala)
- Salt to taste
- 1 teaspoon avocado oil or any neutral oil
- 2 tablespoon cilantro (chopped)
Instructions
- 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.
