Happy 2018!
The first week of New year…reality.
Healthy yet satisfying snacks but without compromising on flavor.
I LOVE this chickpeas. We have been eating batches of these all through December, just to make sure they are perfect for you.
These taste just like tandoori chicken minus the chicken <—YUM
(You should totally check out Tandoori chicken skewers with cashew-mint chutney)
Great for snacking (healthy snacking that is!) or toss in your favorite salads to spice things up or stuff into naans and salted yogurt, lettuce and cucumber slices.
If you are craving for something spicy and crunchy then these spicy roasted chickpeas are your perfect solution.

Recipe Notes
Kasoori methi is dried fenugreek leaves that adds a very authentic tandoori taste. It can be found in all Indian grocery stores, some Asian supermarkets and Amazon.
Orange color gives it a tandoori chicken look. It’s totally optional.
Do not reduce the oil.
