Thinly slice the onion and julienne cut the carrots.

Chop the jalapeno or green chilis and garlic. Set it aside.

Drain 2 cups of home cooked chickpeas or 1 can of cooked chickpeas and rinse it.

Pre-heat the oven to 400 F.

To a 10.5 X 7.5 inches baking pan add the cooked chickpeas, shredded carrots, onions, tomatoes, jalapeno, garlic, tomato paste, spices (ground cumin, coriander, paprika) and salt.

Mix thoroughly with clean hands, so that each of the vegetables and chickpeas are coated with the spices and tomato paste.

Wet a rectangular piece of parchment paper so that it becomes more pliable and easier to cover the pan. Squeeze to remove any excess water.

Cover the pan with the wet parchment paper.

Bake in a pre-heated oven at 400F for about 35 minutes or until the carrots and onions are soft and cooked.

Remove from the oven and then remove the parchment paper.

Bake uncovered for about another 8 to 10 minutes to get rid of any excess water.

Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack. Allow it to slightly cool down.
