Instructions: In a pan, heat oil. Add cumin seeds. Let them sizzle and darken in color. Add chile and roast for a few seconds. Stir in turmeric, then immediately add garbanzo beans and shredded apple. Mix gently. Add the coconut, cilantro, salt, sugar and lime juice. Stir the mixture well to evenly distribute seasonings.

Grind the beans coarsely, and this chutney makes a delicious snack. Puree them smooth, and you have a spicy sandwich spread. Or use garbanzo chutney to make a tasty appetizer called pakoras (see recipe below).
