Method
- Cook the chickpeas (pressure cooker preferred) along with turmeric, bay leaf and tea bag
- Heat a skillet, add little oil/butter/ghee and add caraway seeds, the spices and saute for 30-40 seconds.
- Add the onions and then ginger-garlic paste and saute some more till the aroma starts hitting the nostrils.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, tamarind paste and cook till the raw smell of the tomato leaves and it becomes soft and mushy.
- Remove the tea bag and bay leaf from the chickpeas and then pour down the remaining content into this onion-tomato mixture.
- Add more water if needed. Bring it to a boil and smash down few chickpeas to thicken the gravy.
- Serve hot garnished with onions and cilantro (optional)
