Curried Roasted Chickpeas for T & C

Almost all of us are on the lookout for non fried snacks. I was happy to try out one such snack for Taste and Create. This month I was paired with Kat who blogs @ Study food. It is a blog about food for students created by a student! 

This is the second time I am paired with her. The previous time I prepared this Oven fries. Like the previous time,I munched on these reading the book I received for review – Once upon the tracks of Mumbai. The story is very different and interesting – about an autistic person actually.I will be posting the review shortly.

Coming to today’s recipe, this is what I used…
