Quick Chickpea Curry

I've tried several chickpea curry recipes and this one is really the fastest, guaranteed!

A little trick for garlic and ginger: they can be hard to keep fresh. So I recommend buying them in jars (eg : here), because it’s already chopped and can be kept a long time in the fridge. It also shortens the preparation time of a recipe.
