How to Make Garbanzo Beans Chole

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of ghee in a large pot or pan over medium heat. Add 1 large chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add 2 minced cloves of garlic and 1 inch of grated ginger. Sauté for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/2 - 1 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to your spice preference), and salt to taste.
  4. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have softened slightly.
  5. Add 1 (15 ounce) can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed. Add 1 cup of water or vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. Stir in 1 teaspoon garam masala. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes more to allow the flavors to deepen.
  7. Remove from heat and let the Chole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  8. Garnish with fresh chopped coriander leaves and a squeeze of lemon juice before serving with rice or naan bread.
