- •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

Instructions
- 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.
