Chickpeas are tamasic?
I've never heard of that before. The ISKCON temple here serves a little bit of raw chickpeas on the side for breakfast after the temple morning program. I've never heard of lentils and chickpeas being rajasic or tamasic before; I've just happily made sabjis and dal out of these without even thinking.
And the pakoras and chickpea-based parathas I've made were all in vain!
I've never seen any Vaishnavite in real life adhering strictly to all sattvic standards... but then again, I live in a non-Dharmic country!
