     2    Thai green or bird’s eye

     1 ts Cumin seeds
          ¼ ts ground turmeric
   1/2 ts Ground coriander
     1 ts Kashmiri or other hot red
          - chile powder
     4    Roma tomatoes; fine chopped
   3/4 ts Fine sea salt
    30 oz (2 cans) chickpeas; drained

     2 tb Chopped cilantro leaves &
          - tender stems
          Rice or roti and lemon
          - wedges; to serve (opt)

 In a medium pot, melt ghee on medium heat. Once melted,
 stir in the garlic, ginger and onion. Continue cooking,
 stirring occasionally, until the onion softens, 5 to 7
 minutes. Stir in the green chilies, cumin, turmeric,
 coriander and chile powder. Continue stirring for 30
 seconds so the spices don’t burn. Add the tomatoes and
 their juices and salt. Increase the heat to high and
 cook, stirring often, until the mixture is jammy, 5 to 7
 minutes.

 Stir in the chickpeas and stock. Bring to a boil, then
 reduce heat and simmer until the mixture has thickened
 slightly, 5 to 7 minutes. With the back of a spoon,
 smash some of the chickpeas against the inside of the
 pot to thicken the mixture; continue smashing until it
 reaches the desired thickness.

 Sprinkle with garam masala and top with cilantro and
 ginger. If desired, serve rice or roti and lemon wedges
 alongside.
