    This recipe sounds fake. Butter with chickpeas?? Aint no way that’s healthy. 😂 I stick with my salad, thank you very much.

    I dunno, I was expecting better. It turned out kinda bland and not really like the restaurants. Maybe I did something wrong? 🤷‍♂️

      I think you might’ve missed the spices! They really make the difference. Try adding a bit more garam masala or cayenne next time! 😊
