ingredients
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1/4 teaspoon ajowan seeds (a thyme-flavored spice) or dried thyme
1 cup finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
1 cup chopped tomato, peeled and seeded

directions
Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cumin, ajowan, onion and ginger. Cook, stirring often, until the onion turns light brown, about 8 minutes. Add the tomato, tomato paste and chickpeas. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes or until the flavors have blended and the sauce is very thick.
Sprinkle generously with black pepper and season with salt. Transfer to a warm dish and top with chopped fresh cilantro and onions. Pass the chilies on the side.
This dish may be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen. Defrost thoroughly before reheating.

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
