Chana Masala

Your wet masala consists of turmeric, chili, coriander, garlic, fresh ginger, very finely chopped onion, and enough water to make it slushy.

Throw on oil on skillet with cumin seeds and a chili (dried or 1/2 of a fresh). Once the seeds start popping, add a couple tsp of gram flour (chick pea flour. Then throw in the wet masala. After a short bit add one big pureed tomato (or four pureed roma tomatoes) and a can of chickpeas.
Cook until the tomatoes cook down into a nice gravy.

Stir in a tremendous scoop of garam masala.

Serve over rice or with naan, with a slice of lemon and cilantro.
