Creamy Coconut-lime Chickpea Skillet
  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 Tbsp. oil. Add 1 can chickpeas and cook, stirring occasionally and reducing heat as needed to avoid burning, until golden brown and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer chickpeas to a medium bowl. Repeat with remaining 2 Tbsp. oil and chickpeas.

  2. In same skillet over medium heat, combine onion and ¼ cup water and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, 7 to 10 minutes.

  3. Add garlic, ginger, cumin, cinnamon, turmeric and cayenne (to taste) and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring frequently, until paste is slightly darkened, about 2 minutes. Pour in milk and stir to combine. Add brown sugar, baking soda, crisped chickpeas, and remaining ¼ cup water. Bring to a boil, scraping browned bits from bottom of pan. Reduce heat to medium-low, bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens and flavors have melded, about 10 minutes.

  4. Remove from heat; season with salt. Stir in lime juice.

  5. Divide rice among plates or shallow bowls. Spoon chickpeas and sauce over. Top with basil.
