Confit Tandoori Chickpeas
The dish can easily be prepared in advance and served when convenient – it only gets better with time. Substitute the Greek yogurt with a plant-based alternative if you want a completely vegan version, and serve the chickpeas with rice.

Notes
Make your own version:
– Canned butter beans would also be fantastic here! Just replace with an equivalent amount.
– No Kashmiri chili? Use the same amount of sweet paprika instead.
