Chole

2lb Soaked and Cooked Chickpeas,
2 onions finely chopped.
1 tin chopped tomatoes. (400g)
2 tsp salt.
2 tsp turmeric.

Heat the ghee and fry the onions, garlic and ginger until golden brown.

Add the tinned tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes.

Add the salt, turmeric, and chilli powder and cook for 10 minutes over a low heat.

Add the chickpeas and enough water to stop the mix drying out (about a pint) cook for 10 to 15 minutes stirring frequently.

Serve as a side dish or as a main dish, delicious with a naan bread to scoop all the sauce up.

Like the lemon chick peas this freezes well, I tend to serve it with rice.
