Weeknight Djiboutian Pan-Fried Chickpeas Pilaf

Assemble the ingredients: chickpeas, carrot, turmeric, salt, potato, olive oil, coriander.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the chickpeas and cook until pan-fried.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Djiboutian flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Djiboutian accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
