Add the whole spices marked with ※, powdered spices marked with #, and salt. Then, add the vegetable oil to taste. I recommend using 7 tablespoons!!
- This is how your roux should look. An easy way to tell if your roux is ready: the oil starts separating from the roux, and the spices become pleasingly aromatic.

- Add water to cover the chickpeas, and simmer for about 20 minutes. Feel free to use a pressure cooker to save time.
