Add the chickpeas to the wok, stirring them with the sautéed onions. Sprinkle in the chili powder and continue to stir-fry for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 4
Introduce the tuna to the wok, breaking it into chunks as it cooks. Stir gently and let it cook for about 3 minutes until it's heated through.
5
Step 5
Pour in the soy sauce and squeeze the lemon juice over the mixture. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are coated and the flavors are evenly distributed.
