Precooking tips
To prepare the chickpeas, soak overnight for at least 8 hours in salted room temperature water and rinse before use. Pressure cook for about 12 – 15 minutes or boil on the stove for about 30 – 40 minutes.
If you want to skip this step you can boil them in hot water for 10 to 15 minutes and then leave them in the boiling water for 1hr.
