Herby Pakistani Roasted Chickpeas Salad

Assemble the ingredients: chickpeas, garlic, black pepper, paprika, yogurt, cumin, lemon juice.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the chickpeas and cook until roasted.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Pakistani flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Pakistani accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
