Curried Chickpea Dip with Pita Toasts
"This dip was inspired by traditional nachos with beans and corn chips. For my version, I prepared chickpeas with Indian seasonings, such as curry powder, ground cumin, and mango chutney, and then served them with toasted pita wedges." --Kayla Capper, Ojai, CA
Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 8 pita chips and 6 tablespoons chickpea mixture)
