    That is a good idea we are in isolation, so our pantry is our "store". I have lots of chickpea's. They are always filling and just love Indian food. I will have to make some. You always make these recipe's look so easy. Thank you!

    Haven't been to a grocery store since I stocked up in mid-February. Now I can't due to I'm high risk for this virus. Besides, a neighbor stated the shelves in our area are EMPTY. He had to go to 3 different stores (in the chain) just to find a half gallon of milk and one loaf of bread. NOT LOOKING GOOD HERE, FLO. Don't have the ingredients for this recipe so I'm moving on. Stay safe. I like your "Christian Perspective" videos.
    DO SOME MORE RAMEN VIDEOS, PLEASE! IT'S ALL I HAVE TO EAT!

    Just shave it off, Dude!
    That would be a real change, wouldn't it?

    As for soap, don't tell me you've never gotten any soap in your mouth in the shower? And yes, cilantro is really, really nasty! (I hear it's a different gene I have.)

    I love Indian food too! Except beans and peas. Ugh. Still if I did like chickpeas I would totally give this a try. The base recipe to the sauce you created however sounds like it might be very good sauce for pastas. Maybe even as a cold base sauce to convert to a dressing for garden pasta to make a cold pasta salad in the summer. 🤔 I may have to give that a a try.

    This looks delicious. Thanks for the video and recipe. I was just checking my pantry yesterday and noticed I had at least 3 cans of Chickpeas…I shouldn't have to go to the grocery store anytime soon, thankfully. Both freezers are full, etc. I made a big IP of Chili yesterday and 3 cups of rice in the IP today…The only thing I'm out of are eggs, but I will survive. As always, thanks for your channel and you and Dude's dedication to your ministry and way of life…It inspires and encourages the rest of us greatly.

    “Staying at home doesn’t mean you need to eat crummy food.” 😄Priceless!! Thank you, Flo, for the reminder that food is still plentiful. No need to hoard anything. And another thank you for your recent wonderfully uplifting messages that you graciously shared with us. Listening to you is so calming. I’m a man of faith, you make mine deeper. 🙏🏼🌈✝️

    As I’ve had to get “creative” w/what’s on hand in the pantry/fridge/freezer, my family has been loving it! New food ideas seem to make them happy which in turn just makes me even more joyful! There are blessings in every single thing. Even this that we’re going through today. I was able to get a church service out of Nashville, TN this morning. Another blessing! Thanks for this recipe. Love chickpeas. Going to try this. Blessings of good health to you and yours. 🙏🏽🥰

    OMG Flo! I had no idea you weren't Indian. Lol. Just kidding. So glad you posted this. I actually made a meat version of this last night for the first time ever ( I've eaten it before at a restaurant). Used ground pork cause that's what I had and Lebanese 7 spice! It was fantastic. I hear you dude. Send basmati rice! I used Jasmine rice cause that's what I had. Funny I was at work today and almost grabbed a can of chickpeas to stretch the leftovers. Lol. Indian spices are amazing. Stay well ❤️

    I have been married & cooking for almost 51 years and have never eaten chick-peas. My mother never made/used them and neither did any of my aunts,etc.! What do they taste like – what are they similar to, in taste? Are they good as far as protein &/or fiber are concerned? I need to know more…lol…I had better Google my inquiry, right?! Lol

    Looks yummy, Flo! I thought you were crazy when you grated the ginger, but I checked this other channel I follow (TwoSleevers Urvashi). Her heritage is actually Indian and her recipe for Chana Masala does include ginger. Who knew (I didn't) ginger would be in an Indian dish! Sorry for thinking you were crazy! 😢 Love the idea of pantry meals! 👍😊
