Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 small onion, diced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
2 star anise pods, broken into pieces
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
½ cup water
1 teaspoon chile powder
1 teaspoon garam masala
¾ teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon ground cumin
¾ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
1 whole clove, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Saute onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, and anise; stir. Add chickpeas, tomato sauce, water, chile powder, garam masala, salt, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and clove. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until chickpeas start to soften, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Mash some of the chickpeas directly in the pot to give the sauce a chunkier consistency. Cover and continue simmering, stirring occasionally, until flavors come together, about 15 minutes. Remove star anise pieces and clove before serving.
