Rinse the rice well.
Rinsing removes excess surface starch and helps the finished rice maintain a pleasant texture.
Don't skip the fenugreek.
Fresh fenugreek leaves add a distinctive earthy, slightly bitter flavor that balances the chickpeas and warming spices.
Adjust the chili to your taste.
Kashmiri chili powder provides beautiful color and mild heat, but you can adjust the amount depending on your preference.
Finish with fresh citrus.
Lime or lemon juice brightens the entire dish and complements the earthy chickpeas and spices.
Black chickpeas, also known as kala chana, are smaller and darker than the more familiar beige chickpeas. When sprouted, they add a hearty texture and earthy flavor to dishes like this one.
Here, the sprouts pair especially well with basmati rice, fresh fenugreek, fennel, cumin, coriander, and turmeric.
