Saute onion, carrot and celery in the oil over medium-high heat, until the onions start to soften and become golden brown. Reduce heat to medium and add garlic, garam masala and turmeric. Cook for 5 minutes. Add chickpeas, tomatoes and lime juice. Lower heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Add coconut milk and simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
