Easy Chana Masala (Indian Chickpeas)

1. Add olive oil to large frying pan (with lid) on medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add cumin seeds and fry until the seeds sizzle and pop. Add onions and peppers and saute until the onions start to soften.

2. Push aside the onions and add to the center of the pan the grated ginger and garlic. Add the spices and some salt and saute until well mixed. Add diced tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes become soft.

3. Add about 1 cup of water and tomato paste and bring to boil. Add the beans and stir. Let the beans simmer under cover until the sauce thickens slightly and the beans become tender.

4. Stir in chopped cilantro and serve with rice or naan.
