Where To Buy:  If you have trouble finding any of the ingredients to make this recipe, you can order online from Amazon and have them delivered straight to your door!

Tip #1:  Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your preference, or to double the recipe if you need more than 2 servings.

Tip #2:  Sometimes I like to mash the chickpeas to give it a thicker consistency, but that’s another option if you’d like to try it that way.

Tip #3:  The chickpeas I used were “unsalted”, so if you use a salted variety, you may need to adjust the amount of Himalayan salt.
