Instructions

1. 1Place a large skillet over medium heat, about 300°F (150°C). Add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
2. 2Add the 1/2 medium onion, chopped, to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion looks soft and slightly see-through.
3. 3Add the 2 cloves garlic, minced, and the 1 teaspoon of ginger, grated. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly, until you can smell their fragrance.
4. 4Stir in the 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant.
5. 5Add the 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed, the 1/2 cup vegetable broth, and the 1/2 can (14.5 oz) chopped tomatoes. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
6. 6Lower the heat to low, about 200°F (95°C). Let it cook for 15 minutes, stirring every few minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
7. 7Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped, the 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well combined.
