Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas to reduce sodium content further.
Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the raw smell disappears.

Add the rinsed chickpeas and stir to coat them well with the masala.
Pour in one cup of water and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes to blend the flavors, stirring occasionally.
