Be aware that this recipe calls for 1 cup of DRY garbanzos, which is why it says to soak them overnight. I love the suggestion to serve with fresh lemon wedges. It adds a fresh bright taste, which compensates for the lack of amchur powder. I also like that this recipe features grinding the onion, rather than mincing or dicing it. I prefer minced, but this is one of the most requested dishes, and I like to change it up sometimes.
