4. Add the garlic and saute for 2 minutes more.

5. Add the chickpeas; use a potato masher to mash them (they don't have to be mashed into a paste, just make sure each one is broken up slightly; a few whole ones left are ok.

8. Lower heat and pour the flour mixture into the pan.

9. Stir constantly until a thick gravy forms.
