Notes

Make sure to drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly to reduce sodium content. You can adjust the spices based on your preference. If you like it spicy, consider adding red pepper flakes. Fresh lemon juice brightens the dish, so don’t skip it! For a creamy version, you can add a dollop of yogurt on top just before serving. Leftover chickpeas can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
