This quick and tasty Chickpea Guggillu will leave you wanting for more. My mother-in-law whipped up this wonderful dish and I took all the notes in order to share the steps with you. She obviously cooks without recipes, so please go with your taste. If you prefer less spice, go easy on the chili powder. This dish is considered to be a tempering, which is the frying of spices in oil. Then chickpeas are added, to provide you with a nice, complete dish. You can also eat this as a snack, or serve it over rice and curries.
