1. 1Place a large heavy-bottomed pot on the stove and set the heat to medium. Add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil and let it heat for about 1 minute, until it shimmers.
2. 2Add the 1 medium chopped onion to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, or until the onion pieces are soft and have turned a golden brown color.
3. 3Add the 1 tablespoon of ginger-garlic paste to the pot. Stir constantly for 1 minute, until you can smell its fragrance.
4. 4Add the 1 can of diced tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of chana masala powder, 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon of cumin powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt to the pot. Stir everything together and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often.
5. 5Add the 2 cans of chickpeas (drained and rinsed) and the 1/2 cup of water to the pot. Stir to combine.
6. 6Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until the sauce has thickened to your liking.
7. 7Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro. Serve hot.
