2
Gather the ingredients.
3
Halve onion through the root axis and remove the peel. Slice parallel to the root tip to yield thin arcs of onion.
4
Peel the garlic cloves and chop or grate to a paste.
6
Heat some oil in a soup pot over medium heat.
7
When the oil begins to shine a little, you know it's getting hot. Toss in the sliced onion. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until onions are tender and lightly browned.
8
Stir in the ginger and garlic and toast briefly (2-3 minutes).
9
Add the garam masala.
10
Add the cumin.
11
Add the curry powder. Stir in all of the spices and let them toast briefly (2-3 minutes). Heat really boosts the flavor of spices so allowing them to toast briefly will add depth to your curry.

Add the canned tomatoes. Simmer for 5-10 minutes to reduce.
13
Stir in the coconut milk.
14
Strain the chickpeas and add them to the pot.
