Note
Substitutions:
- If you're out of fresh tomatoes, you can use canned diced tomatoes. If chickpeas aren't available, you can substitute them with another legume like white beans, though the taste will vary.
Pairing:
- This dish pairs beautifully with basmati rice or vegan naan bread. For a refreshing side, consider a cucumber and mint raita (use coconut yogurt for vegan).
Tip:
- Soaking chickpeas overnight and boiling them with a pinch of baking soda makes them softer and easier to digest.
