Chickpea filling
- 1
Soak the chickpeas in water overnight or for 6-7 hrs, then pressure cook with 1 tsp salt till soft. Short on time? Use canned chickpeas — strain and wash them thoroughly.
- 2
Heat 3 tbsp olive oil and saute finely chopped onions and 3 tsp garlic with turmeric and chilli powder, 3-4 min on low-medium till golden brown.
- 3
Add tomato paste, saute about a minute, then add the chickpeas and coriander powder; mix well.
- 4
Add salt and pepper and simmer 3-4 min. Roughly mash some of the chickpeas so the filling isn't watery or curry-like.
- 5
Squeeze in 1/2 lemon and stir in 1 spoon of honey.
