Tasty dishes where chickpeas are the main ingredient? (lemmy.world)

I'm trying to eat more beans as I eat less meat and making them from scratch is not an option. Pre-cooked beans are very hard to find where I live apart for chickpeas apparently.

Chickpeas are probably my favorite bean!

Chana masala is one of my favorites, it's basically chickpeas in a spiced tomato sauce and its absolutely delicious

I also make a salad that's chickpeas, shredded carrots, celery, green onion, and dill that's lovely

Last one, but falafels are outstanding, and not that hard to make. I always start those from dried chickpeas though, I'm not sure if canned would hold up as well tbh

If you're a channa masala fan, you should try doubles! It's a street food in Trinidad and Tobago. It's a bit of work but it is definitely worth it. It's basically a west Indie burrito made from a flat bread called bara and channa, and IMO it NEEDS kuchela.
