Instructions

1
Heat coconut oil in a large pan. Add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent and lightly golden.
2
Stir in the garlic, ginger, and all the dry spices. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
3
Pour in the tomato paste and coconut milk. Mix well to get a uniform orange sauce. Let it come to a gentle simmer.
4
Add the drained chickpeas. Reduce the heat and cook covered for 10–15 minutes, until the sauce thickens and the chickpeas absorb the flavors.
5
Finally, stir in lemon juice for freshness. Add more salt if needed.
6
Serve hot, sprinkled with fresh cilantro. Goes great with basmati rice or whole-grain naan bread.
