Easy Indian Spiced Chickpeas

July 9, 2018 by Andrea Shome Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Hi Friends! Sharing this quick and easy spiced chickpea recipe that I made last week. This is a super easy, 5 minute dish that you can make if you have a few spices and chickpeas on hand. I served it on top of yogurt with veggies for a savory lunch. The chickpeas would also be great on top of a salad, or as a side dish with naan and an Indian curry.

This recipe uses Indian spices in a less typical way – toasting seeds vs. just adding in curry or turmeric powder. “Golden” everything with turmeric is so popular lately, but I think the warmness of these spices is much more subtle. Adjust the spices according to the levels that you like. I think the cumin and mustard seeds really make it; the fennel is optional.

Start by warming a pan over medium heat and add in some oil (I used avocado oil). When the oil is getting hot, add in your spices and toast them up. You’ll smell them get fragrant and they seeds will begin to pop! You can cover it at this point and let it cook a few more minutes.

Then just toss in the chickpeas with some lemon juice! Done.

Serve on top of a salad or yogurt or alone as a side dish. It would also be great if you mixed in the chickpeas with yogurt, lemon and cilantro into a salad. Bon appetit!
