Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Saute the onion until it becomes translucent and starts to brown, 3-5 minutes.

- Sprinkle in the garam masala, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Mix in the tomatoes, chickpeas, and water. Stir well to combine and scrape up any browned bits from the pot. The mixture should thicken to a stew-like consistency. If needed, add more water. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
