on Feb 03, 2016, Updated Sep 25, 2023 I have a major snacking and munching addiction. Come 5 PM, and I’m always reaching out for something – unhealthy mostly. Just between you and me, I think it’s a family thing. My dad is exactly the same and has to munch on something once he gets back home. Masala chickpeas or chanas are his favorite snack! And this experiment started as a way to make his favorite snack healthier. Presenting to you Crunchy Roasted Indian Masala Chickpeas. Actually today is not just about the chickpeas. It’s also our anniversary and sadly enough, Denver and I are in two different cities. I’m in Raipur and he’s in Bangalore. But luckily enough, we have 3 anniversaries every year for the 3 weddings we had and our celebrations usually last a week. It’s a long story and we’ll need to meet over chai and roasted masala chickpeas to talk about it, but all you need to know is that we’ll be together on Friday and I can’t wait! 3 years is a long time to be married, and 7 years is an even longer time to be together. But the butterflies in my stomach never stop, and the smiles when we see each other just seem to get broader. Sigh. Being married is so amazing! I didn’t mean for this post to turn into a mushy declaration of love, but I can’t stop getting EMO when it comes to Denver! Getting back to this super addictive snack, I followed the easy instructions from The Kitchn but ended up modifying them slightly to make these super crunchy, just the way my dad likes them! In fact I plan to present these to him when he gets back home today. Let’s see if it passes the test. I’ll keep you guys posted!
