- Chickpeas — If using canned chickpeas, rinse and drain them well before cooking to remove any excess salt or brine.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra kick of heat, sprinkle some finely chopped green chilies on top of the dish.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of red chili powder or omit it altogether.
- Serve with a side of tangy tamarind chutney or mint yogurt sauce for added flavor.
- Feel free to add diced tomatoes or bell peppers to the spiced chickpeas for added freshness and texture.
- If you can't find papadums, you can substitute them with crispy tortilla chips.
