- Soak the chickpeas over night in water. Next day boil them in a pot for about one hour and drain after.
- Heat ghee in a sauce pan, add the chopped onions and simmer until golden.
- Add the crushed tomatoes and the spices and simmer for an additional 20 minutes. Stir regularly to avoid burning.
- Add the drained chickpeas and simmer for another 10 - 15 minutes.
Chickpeas need a lot of seasoning. You might have to spice them up a bit more.
