Preparation
Step 1
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook shallots and mustard seeds, stirring occasionally, until shallots soften and mustard seeds begin to pop, about 3 minutes. Add chickpeas, cabbage, and 2 cups water; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, covered, until cabbage is very tender, 10–12 minutes. Uncover and cook until liquid is almost completely evaporated, about 3 minutes. Stir in vinegar and red pepper flakes; season with salt, pepper, and more vinegar, if desired.
Step 2
Season yogurt with salt and pepper. Spread yogurt onto a serving platter and top with cabbage and chickpeas.
