For a richer flavor, consider using coconut oil instead of vegetable oil. Adjust the amount of chili peppers to your spice preference. Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for added nutrients and flavor. If you don't have dried chickpeas, canned chickpeas work just as well. Just reduce the cooking time. A dollop of vegan yogurt or a squeeze of lime juice adds a refreshing touch to the finished dish.
