Crunchy Chickpeas

Crunchy Chickpeas

Ingredients

  • 1 15 oz can of chickpeas
  • 1 tbsp gochujang
  • 1/2 tbsp oil
  • 1/2 tbsp water
  • 1/4 tsp salt (depends on sodium content of your canned chickpeas)
  • chopped herbs to garnish (optional)
 
Gochujang version
  • 1 tbsp gochujang
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp gochugaru
 
Garam masala version
  • 1/2 tbsp garam masala
  • 1/8 tsp amchoor powder (optional)
  • pepper (~10-15 turns)

Recipe

  • Mix everything except the chickpeas in a bowl, until combined
  • Drain the chickpeas, rinse with water, then add to the sauce. Mix thoroughly to coat the chickpeas.
  • Microwave for 5-10 minutes. 5 minutes makes them less crunchy and ideal for a meal, longer makes them crunchier as a snack.

Notes

  • The dish leans kinda dry, and I recommend serving it either:
    • a) make it very crunchy and serve it much like peanuts
    • b) serve it on yogurt
  • For yogurt, it’s ideally kinda flavored, so some recs:
    • a) Chaat masala + yogurt
    • b) Herbs (maybe even dried dill) + garlic powder + yogurt
