+# Easy Chickpea Curry (Channa Masala) [^1]
+
+## Ingredients
+
+* 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
+* 1 large onion, diced
+* 2 cloves garlic, minced
+* ginger, peeled and grated, 1 inch (2 1/2 cm) piece
+* 1 jalapeño, or green chile, seeded and sliced
+* 2 tablespoons garam masala
+* 1 teaspoon turmeric
+* 1 teaspoon salt
+* 1 teaspoon black pepper
+* 2 cups fresh tomato, diced
+* 15 oz chickpeas, drained and rinsed, 2 cans
+* ½ cup water
+* ½ lemon, juiced
+* ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
+
+## Preparation
+
+1. Heat olive oil in a large stock pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat.
+
+2. Add onion and cook until onion becomes translucent and begins to brown, about
+   3-5 minutes.
+
+3. Add garlic, ginger, and jalapeño. Continue to cook over medium heat until
+   garlic is fragrant and jalapeño is tender, about 3-4 minutes.
+
+4. Add garam masala, turmeric, salt, and pepper then continue to cook for 1-2
+   minutes.
+
+5. Add tomatoes, chickpeas, and water. Stir to incorporate, making sure to use
+   the spoon the scrape off any brown bits that have appeared on the bottom or
+   sides of the pot.
+
+6. As the tomatoes break down, the mixture should take on the texture of a thick
+   stew. Add more water if needed before bringing everything to a simmer and
+   then cover with a lid.
+
+7. Once covered, cook for 15 minutes while stirring occasionally.
+
+8. Remove lid, reduce heat to low and mix in the lemon juice and chopped
+   cilantro. Cook over low heat 1-2 minutes until the cilantro has wilted and
+   turned bright green.
+
+9. Serve over basmati rice or with a side of naan.
+
+10. Enjoy!
