Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- 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.

I make this recipe almost weekly. It is a staple. The directions are concise and accurate. I make it – to the letter – and it is perfection every time. One thing to mention: I double the recipe sometimes, when I know I will want leftovers. Soo glad to find this recipe!
This is an amazing dish, the very first time I made it I strictly followed the recipe and it came out really really well. It tasted like I was eating in a good Indian restaurant! One of my favourite recipes on this site.
Very good! I made a double batch….and ground half the amount of star anise and cloves…as I didn’t want to fish them out of the pot. Thanks for the recipe!
DELICIOUS!!! Absolutely fabulous and loaded with flavor. I am so excited to be eating this for lunch right now! This comes together so quickly- it was done before my rice finished cooking! Definitely a keeper.
