Saute the white onions. Once the white onions are half cooked or approximately half way to becoming clear, add the chilies, ginger, and chickpeas. Continue sauteing until the onions are clear.

Step 2

Mix all the spices together and dump them into the onion mixture. Add tomatoes. Mix. Sautee until new ingredients are heated. Place a lid on the pot or dutch oven and let the ingredients set for a couple minutes so that the spices soak into the chickpeas. Serve.
