About Chickpeas in yogurt sauce

Chickpeas in Yogurt Sauce is a flavorful dish rooted in South Asian cuisine, often enjoyed as a light side or main meal. It combines protein-rich chickpeas with a creamy yogurt base, spiced with aromatic ingredients like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garlic, often garnished with fresh herbs such as cilantro or mint. The dish is celebrated for its balance of nutrition and taste: chickpeas are an excellent source of fiber, plant-based protein, and essential nutrients like folate and iron, while unsweetened yogurt contributes calcium, probiotics, and a cool, tangy complexity. While typically healthy, variations using full-fat yogurt or excessive oil for tempering spices may increase calorie and fat content. Low-fat yogurt and minimal oil can help make this dish even more wholesome. Its blend of textures and mild heat makes Chickpeas in Yogurt Sauce a comforting, nourishing option for vegetarian and gluten-free diets.
