Heat a pan on medium heat without oil.

Add 1 tablespoon of mustard seeds and dry toast until they start popping.

Add 1/4 cup of oil and 1/4 cup of dried curry leaves; fry for 10 seconds until crisp.

Add 800 g of tin chickpeas to the pan.

Stir in 2 teaspoons of red chili powder, 2 teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of ginger paste, 1 tablespoon of garlic paste, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of turmeric.

Add 1 teaspoon of dhania (coriander and cumin) powder and mix well for 30 seconds to coat the chickpeas.

Add 4 tablespoons of ketchup and stir until the chickpeas are glossy and vibrant.

Pour in 1/2 cup of water to create a light gravy and bring to a gentle boil.

Cover with a lid and let it cook for 5 minutes on medium heat.

After 5 minutes, add a generous handful of fresh green coriander before serving.
