Chickpeas and Potato Recipe
This recipe is a balanced mix of onions, tomatoes and spices coating chickpeas and potatoes.
This is a quick recipe especially if you are using canned chickpeas, which in my opinion, are pretty good because they are perfectly tender all the time. Nothing is worse than dried chickpeas not cooked enough and having a hard bite to them.
It is a popular dish in Ramadan, but I make it all year round because I love chickpeas. They are healthy, filling and so versatile. I use them in soups, curries, salads and rice.
