- Soak the chickpeas: Combine the broth, carrots, and onion in a large Dutch oven. Place parsley stems and crushed coriander seeds in a piece of cheesecloth, tie with kitchen twine, and add to the broth. Add the chickpeas and bring to a boil over high heat. Remove from heat and let soak until tender-about 1 hour. Remove and discard the carrots, onion, and spice bag. Drain chickpeas and dry well on paper towels.
- Make spice mix: Combine the paprika, salt, and ground coriander in a small bowl and set aside.
- Fry the chickpeas: Heat oil in a large saucepan to 375°F In small batches, fry chickpeas until they are golden brown and crisp on the outside-about 5 minutes.
