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.
