Great recipe and much easier than it tastes! Cumin goes great with chickpeas and the coriander and lemon juice add a wonderful fresh flavour. I used garlic powder rather than fresh garlic because I didn't realise that I used the last of the garlic for the other recipe I was making with it, though will try it will fresh garlic next time. Thanks to you and your housemate for sharing. :) Made for PAC Spring 2010.

Simple to prepare with lots of good fresh flavour. I also added the garlic with the lemon juice, and used fresh celery and coriander from the garden. This was a cinch for a quick healthy and delicious supper, using ingredients on hand, we enjoyed it low-GI health bread. Thanks Boo, very good! Made for PAC Fall 2009
