Chickpeas are a super meat substitute due to their high protein and iron content. Thus, the body gets enough protein for the cell structure even without animal food. The vitamin C-rich spring onions ensure that the vegetable iron is well absorbed by the body.

You can also replace the sour cream with other things like yogurt made from cow's, goat's or sheep's milk.
