Ingredients:
1 cup chick-peas
2 tomatoes
2 small onions
5 pods garlic
1 inch ginger
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp Garam Masala
1 tsp kasuri methi
salt to taste
Procedure:
Soak chick-peas overnight or for 6 hrs.
Boil them and keep aside.
In a frying pan, fry chopped onions.
When onions turn pinkish, add garlic and ginger and fry for 2 Min’s.
Then add chopped tomatoes and fry. While frying, always use low flame and cover the lid.
When tomatoes emit little water add turmeric powder and garam masala.
Switch off the gas and let this cool.
After cooling, grind into a paste.
Mix this paste into the boiled chick-peas.
Add water as per your choice.
I suggest not to add too much water, as the gravy will become watery.
Then add kasuri methi and stir.
Add salt as per your taste.
Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
Serve with bread of your choice.

Hey Raksha , one more tip , when you are soaking the cleaned chickpeas, soak them in Tea water( 4 cups water and 1 tbsp tea powder and strain the water thats the tea water). Next morning cook the chickpeas in the same water and add tureric powder and salt. Will add flavour to your chole masala.
Thanks Anon
I hardly ever get my chole masala in a curry – always turns out dry. Will defintely try this way.
