This super quick and easy Chickpea rice is perfect for a speedy midweek vegetarian dinner for the whole family!

This is definitely one of our favourite dishes!!

This rice pulao is very filling on its own, but we prefer to pair it with our famous achari chicken recipe. Chickpeas are quite nutritious which is why they are very healthy to incorporate into your diet. The spices give the rice a beautiful aroma and flavour.
