    1 md Red onion; peeled, fine
    - chopped
    2 Thai green or bird’s eye
    - chilies; chopped
    1 ts Cumin seeds
    ¼ ts ground turmeric
    1/2 ts Ground coriander
    1 ts Kashmiri or other hot red
    - chile powder
    4 Roma tomatoes; fine chopped
    3/4 ts Fine sea salt
    30 oz (2 cans) chickpeas; drained
    2 c Unsalted chicken or
    - vegetable stock, or water
    3/4 ts Garam masala
    2 tb Chopped cilantro leaves &
    - tender stems
    Rice or roti and lemon
    - wedges; to serve (opt)

    In a medium pot, melt ghee on medium heat. Once melted,
    stir in the garlic, ginger and onion. Continue cooking,
    stirring occasionally, until the onion softens, 5 to 7
    minutes. Stir in the green chilies, cumin, turmeric,
    coriander and chile powder. Continue stirring for 30
    seconds so the spices don’t burn. Add the tomatoes and
    their juices and salt. Increase the heat to high and
    cook, stirring often, until the mixture is jammy, 5 to 7
    minutes.

    Stir in the chickpeas and stock. Bring to a boil, then
    reduce heat and simmer until the mixture has thickened
    slightly, 5 to 7 minutes. With the back of a spoon,
    smash some of the chickpeas against the inside of the
    pot to thicken the mixture; continue smashing until it
    reaches the desired thickness.

    Sprinkle with garam masala and top with cilantro and
    ginger. If desired, serve rice or roti and lemon wedges
    alongside.
