Ingredients | Indian Vegetarian Dinner Menu Ideas For A Party

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 small onion, diced

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root

2 star anise pods, broken into pieces

1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

½ cup water

1 teaspoon chile powder

1 teaspoon garam masala

¾ teaspoon salt

¾ teaspoon ground cumin

¾ teaspoon ground coriander

¼ teaspoon ground turmeric

1 whole clove, or more to taste

Directions

Heat oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Saute onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, and anise; stir. Add chickpeas, tomato sauce, water, chile powder, garam masala, salt, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and clove. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until chickpeas start to soften, 5 to 7 minutes.

Mash some of the chickpeas directly in the pot to give the sauce a chunkier consistency. Cover and continue simmering, stirring occasionally, until flavors come together, about 15 minutes. Remove star anise pieces and clove before serving.
