- In America, chickpeas are available in large round shapes but in India and the Middle East, you can find smaller organic types of chickpeas. Small chickpeas are more tasty than big chickpeas.
- Seasoning ingredients can vary as per the taste. You can simply season it with salt and peppers. Taste the chickpeas before adding salt as most of the canned and boiled chickpeas are already salty.
- The addition of mango powder in this recipe will add a citrus flavor. If you don't have mango powder then replace it with fresh lemon squeeze after saute or right before serving.
- Addition of onions, chilies, and potatoes during sauteing makes it tastier.
- Avoid sauteing chickpeas for a long time as it will change the taste. 5 to 6 minutes of cooking on medium heat without any liquid make the perfect taste and texture of chickpeas.
