Tips:

  • Choose the right chickpeas: Dried chickpeas are best for this recipe, as they hold their shape better than canned chickpeas. If using dried chickpeas, be sure to soak them overnight before cooking.
  • Use a good quality curry powder: The curry powder is the key to the flavor of this dish, so be sure to use a good quality one. Look for a curry powder that is made with fresh, high-quality spices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When pan-frying the chickpeas, be sure to do it in batches so that the chickpeas have enough room to cook evenly. Overcrowding the pan will result in steamed chickpeas instead of pan-fried chickpeas.
  • Cook the chickpeas until they are crispy: The chickpeas should be cooked until they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This will take about 5-7 minutes per batch.
  • Serve immediately: Pan-fried chickpeas are best served immediately, while they are still hot and crispy. They can be served as a main course or as a side dish.

Conclusion:

Pan-fried curried chickpeas are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. They are also a great source of plant-based protein and fiber. With the right ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make this dish at home. So next time you're looking for a quick and healthy meal, give pan-fried curried chickpeas a try!
