    Can substitute ground coriander for ground cumin.

    Used coriander instead of cumin & dried dill instead of fresh. Unfamiliar (to me) yet comforting. Easy & quite tasty. Loving this book more all the time.

    I used jasmine rice since it was what I had on hand, but it got a bit gummy at parts. I think next time I would try basmati instead. I would also not boil the chickpeas as long as the rice as they got very soft and smashed. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the flavors and the parts that got crunchy and crispy were so good!

    Great dish, even my picky kid ate it sans sauce. As someone noted below, the sauce was pretty sharp on its own, but tasted very nice over the rice; I still probably could have cut the sauce quantities in half or even quartered. Next time, I'll do that and grate in some garlic to the sauce.

    I loved this. Perfect for L and me, with enough leftovers for one lunch. For sauce, I did much less water and more lemon, and grated in a clove of garlic. Also did as hirsheys did and used half cumin, half coriander.

    My family and I went out of town for the holiday, so I’m a bit jetlagged, but still managed to get this dish (plus what turned out to be an unnecessary roasted chicken also from the book - see next post) made for dinner without too much fuss. The flavors are reminiscent of the yellow rice from the halal street chicken recipes I like (from Smitten and Serious Eats), but with added chickpeas and a different sauce. I thought the tahini dressing was too sharp at first, but turned out to be a nice contrast to the rich dish. I used 1/2 coriander and 1/2 cumin (the recipe calls for either). All in all, a very good veg dish that I will def make again.
