2 serrano peppers, chopped (you can seed them if you want a milder sauce)
2 Tablespoons Olive or Coconut Oil
1 white onion, diced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons garam masala
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon turmeric
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 15 ounce cans garbanzo beans, drained
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½- 1 cup water
Cilantro for garnish

Instructions
Prepare the rice according to package directions.
In a blender, combine the garlic, ginger, cilantro and pepper. Blend until you have a paste. Set aside.
Heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
Add in the chili paste, cumin, salt, garam masala, coriander, chili powder, turmeric, cayenne, and asafetida. Stir to combine.
Add the tomatoes, chickpeas, lemon juice and ½ cup water. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer
Adjust the seasonings to your taste. If the chana masala looks too thick you can add a little water. You want a thick, soupy consistency.
Simmer for about 15 minutes. Serve with rice. Garnish with cilantro.
