Instructions
- Make the spicy chickpeas: Add the chickpeas and all of the ingredients to a skillet over medium heat and mix well. Cook until the water reduces.It can take anywhere from 4-6 minutes, depending on your stove and pan.
- You can also add a few drops of oil to help the spices taste more vibrant. If you don't want to measure all the spices, you can also use 2 teaspoons garam masala or 1.5 tablespoons of chana masala blend. You can get this in an Indian store. Taste and adjust salt and flavor, then take off heat.
- Warm up the tortillas or flat bread and set aside by heating them on a skillet with some vegan butter or oil. Omit oil for Oilfree.
- In a bowl add chopped onion, tomato slices and add in 3-4 tablespoons of the chutney and toss well to coat. Also add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon lemon juice if your chutney isn't tangy enough and mix in.
- Assemble: Layer some lettuce in the tortillas and add the chickpeas. Add the tomato onion mixture and sprinkle some chaat masala all over and then serve. Wrap them up in some parchment paper, and store or serve as needed. You can also make a burrito out of it so that you can carry it for a snack.
Notes
- Store chickpeas, tomato-onion topping, and chutney separately in the refrigerator for up to three days to maintain freshness and texture.
- For a chaat variation, serve the chickpeas and toppings layered over tortilla chips or Indian papdi, garnished with tamarind chutney and cilantro.
- Use other beans like brown chickpeas, black beans, or black-eyed peas, or substitute with pressed and cubed tofu tossed in the same spices and lemon juice, then baked for 20 minutes.
- Opt for gluten-free wraps or serve the filling in lettuce leaves for a gluten-free option.
- This recipe is nut-free, suitable for those avoiding nuts.
