Start by taking some Onion-Tomato Masala from the store.

Add 1 cup of water to the Onion-Tomato Masala.

Stir well and allow it to cook for 7 to 8 minutes on medium flame.

Add in Chole Masala and some salt; remember that some proprietary ingredients may already contain salt.

Allow the spices to cook for a couple of minutes.

Open the can of chickpeas, which are already cooked and ready to use, and add them to the pan.

Add in the liquid from the can, known as Aquafaba, for added flavor.

Allow the mixture to boil on high flame.

Mash a couple of chickpeas to release starch and thicken the curry.

Let it thicken for another 30-40 seconds; your Chole Masala is now done.

Garnish with lots of ginger and coriander, or substitute with parsley if needed.
