The idea for this dinner was inspired by both Indian chatt and the Levantine Fatteh. Both are dishes that feature warm spiced chickpeas over crispy bread like chips and topped with a cool yogurt sauce.
You can easily adapt this recipe to your favorite veggies, anything can be roasted in the oven, such as butternut squash or eggplant.
This is a great way to use up leftover pita too, but if you prefer you can cut back or eliminate the pita and serve over rice.
This can be made without the salmon and served over rice with salad as a vegetarian meal or as is with salmon.
