Ingredients
- 3 cups Dried Chickpeas
- 1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil
- 4 teaspoons Garam Masala
- 2 teaspoons Sugar
- 3 teaspoons Salt
- 1 pinch Cayenne Pepper To Taste
- 1 cup Plain Yogurt, For Topping (optional)
Method
- Note: I recommend using dried chickpeas in this recipe, which requires that they soak overnight.
- The inactive time needed for soaking is not included in the cook time referenced above.
- Soak the chickpeas in water overnight.
- Drain the water used for soaking and fill with fresh water to at least a couple of inches over the top of the chickpeas.
- Turn on the heat and bring the water to a low boil.
- Continue boiling the chickpeas, adding additional water to the pot if necessary, until they are tender but still have a bit of give (similar to al dente for pasta).
- I find this takes about 2.5 hours.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Drain chickpeas, rinse in cool water and spread them out on a towel to dry.
- Rub gently with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Toss chickpeas in oil.
- Spread chickpeas evenly on a large baking sheet.
- Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes, shaking the pan once or twice to ensure they cook evenly.
- Combine garam masala, sugar, salt, and cayenne in a small bowl and gradually sprinkle over the chickpeas, tossing to combine.
- Serve immediately, topped with plain yogurt.
