Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium. Add diced onion and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in ginger-garlic paste and garam masala. Cook until fragrant, roughly 30 seconds — don't let it burn.
Step 3
Add crushed tomatoes and chickpeas with their liquid. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
Step 4
Simmer for 6–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly and flavors meld.
Step 5
Stir in coconut milk. Heat through for 1 minute until creamy and warm.
Step 6
Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve hot with rice or naan.
