One of the essential pulses of the Indian pantry, chickpeas are used in myriad preparations, from everyday dishes to celebratory feasts. For the best texture, buy dried chickpeas and soak and cook them yourself – the ones in tins tend to be overcooked and too soft, in my opinion. In India, I have cooked this with fresh fenugreek leaves (methi), but sadly these are not available here, so I have used spinach leaves instead.
