To start, finely chop the garlic, red chili pepper, and ginger. In a large pot over medium heat, sauté the garlic, chili, and ginger in a bit of oil until fragrant. Add in the cumin seeds, turmeric, and coriander powder, stirring well to toast the spices.

Next, add in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they start to break down. Pour in the coconut milk and canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed) and bring the stew to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Season the stew with salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer a spicier kick, you can add more red chili pepper or a pinch of cayenne. Serve the Spicy Chickpea Stew hot, garnished with fresh cilantro leaves.

One clever tip for this dish is to mash some of the chickpeas with the back of a spoon before serving. This will help thicken the stew and create a creamier texture that’s truly satisfying.
