 Let's make it!

  1. Heat the oil in a wide skillet. Add ginger saute it for 1 min, and once you start getting aroma go to the next step. Make sure it is not burning.
  2. Add the onion and sauté until translucent.
  3. Time to add tomatoes and Shivani's Kitchen Curry Masala Spice.
  4. Sauté the onion tomato paste until it becomes totally mushy and starts oozing butter from sides.
  5. Add the chickpeas then cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
  6. This should be moist and stew-like, but not soupy; add a little more water, if needed.
  7. At the end add your garam masala and lemon juice.
