1

If using canned chickpeas, wash and rinse them before cooking. If using dry chickpeas, soak them overnight and boil them in water until softened for about 20 minutes.

2

Cut flat Arabic bread into strips using kitchen scissors.

3

Deep fry the bread in vegetable oil until golden and crispy, or grill it whole for a healthier option.

4

Prepare the yogurt sauce by crushing garlic with salt, then mixing it with yogurt and tahini, adding water to thin it out as needed.

5

Assemble the dish by spreading the fried bread in a serving dish, then adding the chickpeas on top, ensuring they are slightly wet.

6

Pour the yogurt sauce over the chickpeas and bread, ensuring even coverage.

7

Melt ghee or butter and fry pine nuts until golden, then drizzle over the assembled dish.
