Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by draining the cooked chickpeas and setting aside a small amount of the liquid. In a food processor, add the chickpeas, crushed garlic, lemon juice, yoghourt, and curry paste. Blend until velvety, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Check consistency - if too thick, gradually add reserved chickpea liquid, one tablespoon at a time.
  3. Finely chop the green chilli, julienne the ginger, and slice the shallot. Keep them ready for frying.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add curry leaves, green chilli, ginger, and shallot. Fry for about 5 minutes until crispy.
  5. In a serving bowl, spread the dip and top generously with the crispy fried aromatics. Serve immediately.
