Prepping the onions, ginger, and garlic is the hardest part, the rest is easy, requiring stirring occasionally and then a nice simmer.
Remove the skins and ends from the onions and slice into thin strips.
Remove the skins and ends from the garlic and finely chop or use a garlic press.
Remove the skin from the ginger and grate or finely chop.
In a large pot, heat the oil or water over medium heat, add onions and cumin and cook for 5 – 7 minute, until onions are browning around the edges.
Add the ginger and garlic, cook 1 to 2 minutes more.
Add the garam masala, turmeric, ground coriander seed and Smocked paprika and cook for 1 – 2 two minutes, or until nice and fragrant.
Add tomatoes and cook for 4 minutes, until they breakdown a bit.
Add tomato paste, chickpeas and coconut milk, stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Simmer, covered, for 25 to 30 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasonings to taste.
Now you’re ready to serve with a grain of choice.
