I'm going through our cupboards using up stuff that's been around for years, and today was chickpea day - dried chickpeas.
So Ive soaked them for a couple of overnights, and boiled them with some bicarb.
I now have a considerable amount of well cooked yummy scrummy chickpeas.
One dish i will be making will be a chickpea and spinach curry, and hummus. (Can;t make faalfels as the CPs are cooked - it falls apart)
What would YOU cook with pre-cooked chickpeas other than those?
It did strike me that one could mash them into a paste and almost griddle/dry (ish) fry them intoa sort of pancake ... opiunions?

Re: Cooked chickpeas
Freeze 'em and use them in next week's curry. I always cook to many; onion/garlic/tin tomatoes/frozen chickpeas/frozen spinach/spices: instant dinner.

Re: Cooked chickpeas
Did you save the water? Aquafaba is the new ingredient I've been meaning to try eg https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/vegan-meringues
I do chick pea fritters, soften some onions, mash the chick peas or lightly process, add both to beaten eggs and flour to bind to thick batter consistency, shallow fry.

Re: Cooked chickpeas
Can't help I'm afraid. When I soak a batch of chickpeas then (after setting some aside for falafel) I use the rest for hummus and curry (usually with spinach.
