1/2 bunch fresh cilantro
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
6 pita breads (or package of mini pita rounds)
chopped fresh chives

Directions:

For the dip: Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until onions are deep brown and begin to crisp slightly, stirring often, about 40 minutes. Add garam masala; stir 1 minute.

For pita crisps:.
Preheat oven to 350°F
Cut each round into 6 wedges. Place wedges on 2 baking sheets; drizzle with cilantro-garlic oil (to follow) and toss gently to coat. Arrange pita wedges in single layer; bake 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro leaves and bake until pita wedges are crisp and golden, about 5 minutes longer. Cool. Do ahead Can be made 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature. Sprinkle dip with chives; place on platter. Surround with pita crisps.
Garlic Cilantro Oil:.
Finely chop enough cilantro leaves to measure 2 tablespoons. Combine oil and garlic in heavy small saucepan; cook over medium heat until oil begins to bubble around garlic, about 5 minutes. Add chopped cilantro stems. Remove from heat and let steep 10 minutes. Strain oil into small bowl; discard solids in strainer.
