I can’t eat chickpeas for health reasons. Can any other bean be substituted for chickpeas?
fava beans?
Can these be cooled on the airfryer and if so, what temperature and for how long?
I used a different recipe but yours looks better. Trying next time.
Perfect and a fabulous recipe. It comes out soft n moist
If I can’t get the dry chickpeas cn I use those in tins?
No, you can’t use canned chickpeas as they are cooked. If you fry cooked chickpeas they will fall apart while frying.
