Directions

In a crock pot or a pressure cooker pan(if you are an impatient cook like me, yet want to taste all the goodness of the slow cooker) heat oil and sauté few slices of onions and the ginger garlic paste
Once they are golden brown, all your other ingredients- chickpeas, rest of the onions, tomato, chilly, coriander leaves and mix well
Add the salt, turmeric, chilly powder and coriander powder along with the lemon juice and mix well again. If you have it, add half a teaspoon of garam masala, totally optional. This will rival the smells of Delhi street food when it cooks.
Add the water and close the lid. If using pressure cooker, cook for about 5 whistles or in a slow cooker, cook in high for about 1-2 hours
Let the pressure cooker steam die, and open it. There you have it, the steaming hot spicy and delicious chickpeas stew. Garnish with coriander leaves..
Slow cook in a crockpot or pressure cook in a cooker pan till they are done and the aroma of the curry waft through your house..
Garnish with ginger to spice it up all over again😊
