In a medium pot, melt ghee on medium heat. Once melted,
stir in the garlic, ginger and onion. Continue cooking,
stirring occasionally, until the onion softens, 5 to 7
minutes. Stir in the green chilies, cumin, turmeric,
coriander and chile powder. Continue stirring for 30
seconds so the spices don’t burn. Add the tomatoes and
their juices and salt. Increase the heat to high and
cook, stirring often, until the mixture is jammy, 5 to 7
minutes.

Stir in the chickpeas and stock. Bring to a boil, then
reduce heat and simmer until the mixture has thickened
slightly, 5 to 7 minutes. With the back of a spoon,
smash some of the chickpeas against the inside of the
pot to thicken the mixture; continue smashing until it
reaches the desired thickness.

Sprinkle with garam masala and top with cilantro and
ginger. If desired, serve rice or roti and lemon wedges
alongside.
