• 2 can Chickpeas

• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoon Olive oil

1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrot, sliced celery, and diced red bell pepper. Cook until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Add ground cumin, ground paprika, ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the spices.
