Chickpeas are probably my favorite bean!
Chana masala is one of my favorites, it's basically chickpeas in a spiced tomato sauce and its absolutely delicious
I also make a salad that's chickpeas, shredded carrots, celery, green onion, and dill that's lovely
Last one, but falafels are outstanding, and not that hard to make. I always start those from dried chickpeas though, I'm not sure if canned would hold up as well tbh
If you're a channa masala fan, you should try doubles! It's a street food in Trinidad and Tobago. It's a bit of work but it is definitely worth it. It's basically a west Indie burrito made from a flat bread called bara and channa, and IMO it NEEDS kuchela.
Doubles are AMAZING !
Welp. That solves my what-should-I-eat-tonight query. Thanks.
Didn't know falafels were a thing! That's perfect for me as I also want to include spinach. I also didn't know you could eat chickpeas without pressure cooking them, so this is even better as dried chickpeas are cheaper. Thanks!
You need to soak the chickpeas for a few hours before cooking them, ideally with baking soda do they cook faster.
