Instructions

1. 1.
   In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the drained chickpeas, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they become slightly golden and crispy. This adds a delightful texture to your dish.
2. 2.
   Lower the heat to medium-low and pour in the coconut milk. Stir to combine with the chickpeas, allowing the mixture to simmer for about 3 minutes. This creates a creamy base without the use of any dairy.
3. 3.
   Add the lime juice, lime zest, and ground cumin to the skillet. Stir well to incorporate all the flavors. The lime adds a fresh tang while the cumin provides a warm, earthy aroma.
4. 4.
   Continue to cook for another 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the chickpeas well. If the sauce reduces too quickly, you can add a splash of water to achieve the desired consistency.
5. 5.
   Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If it's too tangy, add a small pinch of salt. Serve warm, garnishing with additional lime zest if desired for an extra pop of flavor.
