- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ onion, diced
- One 16-ounce can chickpeas (also called garbanzo beans), or 1 ½ cups cooked chickpeas plus ½ cup water
- Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
- ½ teaspoon curry powder
- ½ teaspoon ground coriander
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon garam masala
- 1 large bunch or 2 handfuls fresh watercress, trimmed
