Instructions:

3. Meanwhile, heat oil in a pan and add the chopped onion. Sauté the onion until it softens.
4. Add the chopped tomatoes, green chili, ginger, and garlic to the pan, and cook for 5 minutes.
5. Add red chili powder, coriander powder, pomegranate powder, and garam masala to the pan. Stir well and cook until the tomatoes soften and the spices blend.
6. Once the pressure from the cooker has been released, remove the tea bags. Set aside 1 cup of chickpea water for later.
7. Transfer the chickpeas and whole spices from the cooker to the pan. Add salt and a little chickpea water. Stir well. Cover the pan and cook for another 10-15 minutes on low heat.
8. Finally, add lemon juice and garnish with fresh coriander.
