Add the garlic paste and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the cumin, coriander and cayenne and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
Add the tomatoes and simmer over moderate heat until thickened, about 6 minutes.
Add the chickpeas and water and simmer until the chickpeas are flavored with the gravy, about 8 minutes.
Season the chickpeas with salt, garnish with the cilantro and serve.
