Soak 200 to 250 grams of dried chickpeas in water for a night. Wash them well. Put them in a pressure cooker. Add just enough water to barely cover them.
Take the cooker to your spice and herb rack. Add this and that. In my case those were:
- A fistful of garlic cloves.
- A teaspoon of pepper corns.
- Some star anise.
- A little cumin.
- A dry red chilly.
- A little Ajwain (Ccaraway) seeds.
Pressure cook on high for one whistle. Simmer for 8 mins. When pressure has dissipated, drain the water. Let the chickpeas cool. Mash in the soft garlic into the chickpeas.
Mix together with some fresh red chilly and onions. Drizzle olive oil. Test for seasoning.
Enjoy this with that.
