Instructions
Step 1
In the skillet over medium-high heat spray with PAM and pour oil.

Add mustard seeds, and cook until they are fragrant and pop about 30 seconds to a minute.
Step 3
Add onions, garlic and ginger and saute for about 2-3 minutes until slightly brown/golden.
Step 4
Add the diced tomatoes and saute for a few more minutes.
Step 5
Add garam masala, turmeric, chili powder. Once the onions are caramelized and the tomatoes soft, add the chickpeas and combine with the onion-tomatoe mixture until well coated.
Step 6
After about 2-3 minutes add the sour cream and cook until everything is well combined.
Step 7
Add salt and pepper, taste. Cook until chickpeas are soft and flavored well. Make sure to taste a few times for salt and masala. If its too thick, add a few tbsp of water (consistency should be creamy, gravy-like, not too thick).
Step 8
Once the gravy has thickened, chickpeas are cooked well and youve tasted for salt/masala, remove from heat and mix in 3/4 of the reserved chopped cilantro. Clean the pan and set back on medium-high heat. Spray with PAM and the thick red onion slices and small sweet peppers.
