Combine the cilantro, cucumber, red onion, and yogurt. Mix well, transfer to a small serving bowl, and refrigerate until needed.

In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat; saute the cumin, fennel, pepper flakes, coriander, and onions until the onions are lightly browned, about 8 min. Add ginger, zucchini, and bell pepper, and mix well. Pour 1/3 c water over the vegetables, cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer until vegetables are cooked but still firm, about 5 min.

Fold in the chickpeas and tomatoes. Increase heat to medium high, and cook uncovered until the ragout is heated through and the sauce is thick, about 5 min. Season to taste. Serve ragout garnished with the cilantro-yogurt mixture and accompanied by pita or nan bread.
