Turn the heat down to medium-low and add the chopped tomatoes, cumin powder, turmeric, coriander powder, red chili powder, garam masala and salt to taste.Cook it for another 5 minutes on low heat. After that add the chickpeas to the masala in mix well. Add salt to taste  and water to make the gravy-2 cups. Simmer and cook it for 30 minutes with the cover on.
