bay leaf
cumin seeds

1/2 tsp of tumeric
salt to taste
2 tsp of tamrind paste
3 tsp of garlic paste
3 tsp of mango powder
1/2 tsp of sugar
2 tsp of tomato ketchup

Saute onions, ginger , garlic, chilles and all the spices for 20-25 mins until the ingredients are cooked add the tomatoes and cook it for further 10 mins until the mixture leaves oil at the sides. This mixture is called masala - and should be cooked properly till it is nice and red in colour.

Add the chick peas, potatoes and 3 cups of water and let it simmer for another 25 mins- sqeeze lemon juice, garnish it with lots of corriander and serve with flat breads or nan bread!!
