Madhur Jaffrey’s Chickpeas in Simple Northern Style Recipe

This dish is excellent comfort food—the chickpeas are cooked slowly in an onion and tomato sauce enhanced by a mix of spices. These northern-style chickpeas are traditionally served with [bhatura](https://www.masterclass.com/articles/chole-bhature-recipe), deep-fried leavened bread from Punjab, for a rich and decadent meal. But any Indian bread, such as [naan](https://www.masterclass.com/articles/quick-and-easy-homemade-naan-recipe), will do. Madhur likes serving her chickpeas in a tortilla garnished with raw onion, radish, and cucumber, but experiment on your own to see what you like best.
