Add tomatoes, chickpeas, and water. Stir to incorporate, making sure to use the spoon the scrape off any brown bits that have appeared on the bottom or sides of the pot.

Use coconut milk or yogurt for a creamy texture: If you like your curry creamy, add coconut milk or yogurt at the end of cooking. This will help to thicken the sauce and give it a rich flavor.
