Fried Chickpeas with Garam Masala

By garciamoss

Ingredients

• 1 15-oz. can chickpeas
• 1 About 1 cup olive oil
• 1 tsp. garam masala
• Kosher salt

Preparation

Step 1

Drain and rinse the chickpeas and pat completely dry with paper towels. Pour the olive oil into a 4-quart saucepan over medium-high heat to a depth of 1/4 inch. Heat the oil until shimmering hot. Add the chickpeas, cover with a splatter screen if you have one, and fry, shaking the pan occasionally, until browned, crisp, and beginning to split open, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with the garam masala and salt to taste. Serve hot.
