When the eggplant has cooled, scoop out the flesh and place in a small blender. Add bedda Mayo, garlic, tahini, lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Blend until it has an even and creamy consistency.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet. Rinse chickpeas and drain. Then pat dry with a kitchen towel.
When the oil is hot enough, add the chickpeas and let them roast for 5-8 minutes. Stir occasionally. In a small bowl, mix the spices and sprinkle over the chickpeas. Mix and roast for another 2-3 minutes.
