I personally love chickpeas not only because of its deliciousness but mainly because of its versatility. its easy to convert chickpeas into any form of recipe be it sweet or savory because of its texture and flavor.

This protein rich ingredient tastes as delicious in every recipe and justifies any dish unquestionably.

Talking about the versatility of chickpeas here are more recipes from the blog for you to explore:

By the end of the week usually I am out of grocery and major food items. So I wanted to cook something quick with the little of what I found in my pantry and yet wishing for something suitable for my taste buds.

I am fond of coconut so I always store some in my pantry.

How to make Garlicky Sesame Chickpeas with Coconut

  • Firstly, I combined garlic, white sesame seeds and coconut in a little oil. Voila! The aroma was unbeatable. It made me even hungrier and at that point I knew the combinations were perfect. However, my task to make it a winner dish was yet unfinished.

  • Then, I added added soy sauce to it.
  • Next, I added rest of the wet ingredients in it.
  • Lastly, I tossed in chickpeas along with aquafaba.

By the time I tossed in the rest of the ingredients and served it with steamed rice I could not wait to take a bite.

I hungrily finished my serving. My belly could not have been more satisfied and happier.

Eagerly, I served the same to my family and they enjoyed Garlicky Sesame Chickpeas with Coconut as much as I did.

I knew I had to share this 15 minutes dinner with you because who doesn’t want a quick delish on their plate.

Notes

  • use fresh homemade boiled chickpeas. Also I used fresh homemade aquafaba for this recipe.
  • Aquafaba is the leftover chickpea water that’s used for boiling chickpeas/garbanzo beans.
  • For us there was no need to add salt so feel free to sprinkle salt as per your taste.
  • If while cooking the liquid dries up add about ¼ cup of water to chickpeas and cook covered at a low flame until water is well cooked. Adjust the spice a little before serving.
