The basics go like this:
Take about a cup and a half of onion, a bunch of garlic, some fresh ginger, and desired quantities of cumin, coriander, and mustard and blend/process all that into a paste.*
Chop up one tomato into smallish pieces.
Saute the onion stuff in appropriate amounts of oil until it thickens up. Add the tomato, cook for about 5 minutes. Add 2 cans of drained & rinsed chickpeas, some tumeric, cinnamon, salt, and water** and cook for about 10 minutes.
I serve it over couscous, but it would be good with rice or any other grain, really.
*Our food processor needs a new blade and the blender doesn't do well with type of stuff. I blended until about half of it was a paste and left the rest rough-chopped. I think I like it better with some chunks of onion & garlic anyway.
**I had put some water in to facilitate the blender-chopping so I didn't add any in the cooking.
