Omg I had never made my own spice mix, and the taste, the smell, it is so good! I will be making this recipe again, absolutely loved it! I didn't soak the chickpeas in tea overnight, just water, and then I was doing the pressure cooker version so I just had them in tea for about 20 min and rinsed. They didn't pick up any colour, I will soak them overnight in tea next time. Overall, super tasty and great texture. Spicy but not too much for me.
