Peel and finely chop the onions. Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan over medium heat. Add the whole spices and cook for 30 seconds. Add the onions and cook for 5 minutes until they're lightly browned and softened. Add the ginger garlic paste and let it sizzle for a minute. Add the ground spices and the tomatoes. Stir well, then add the drained chickpeas. Simmer for 5 minutes. Taste it and add salt if needed.
Serve with naan bread or rice. Garnish with finely chopped green chilli, coriander, and a sprinkling of garam masala.
