Handful cilantro, for garnish
Sesame seeds and flaxseeds, for garnish
Salt and pepper to taste

Bread loaf or bread bowls, for serving

Notes: In place of chickpeas, you can substitute any bean or lentil. Toner prefers to use a Jamaican curry blend for spicier results, but you can also use a mild blend.
