Step 1
Start by heating the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once the oil is warm, toss in the cumin and ground red chilies, stirring them around for just a few seconds until you can really smell their aroma. Next, add the serrano chiles, chopped onions, garbanzo beans, lemon juice, and a bit of water. Season everything with salt to your liking. Turn the heat up to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Then lower the heat to medium-low and let it simmer gently for about 15 minutes, until the veggies are soft and most of the liquid has cooked off. When you're ready to serve, sprinkle on some fresh ginger, diced tomatoes, and chopped cilantro for a bright, fresh finish.
