&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;2 tbsp cooking oil&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1 tbsp garam masala&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1-2 green chiles (or red pepper flakes to taste)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes (or whole tomatoes, crushed by hand)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;2 cans (15 oz each) chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1 tsp garlic powder&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1 tsp onion powder&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1 tsp dried ginger (or 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1/4 tsp baking soda &lt;em&gt;(tenderizes the chickpeas)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice &lt;em&gt;(adds tang, replaces traditional amchur)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Salt to taste&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2 id="instructions"&gt;Instructions&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Toast the spices:&lt;/strong&gt; Heat the oil in a pot or deep pan over medium heat. Add the garam masala and fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. This blooms the spices and releases their oils.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
